You must have a very generous dealer to let you have the car three days. Which models did you test ? And what size wheels and tyres were fitted? We have had our 90 D5 Inscription P* fitted with air suspension for nearly six months now and we have covered about 6500 Miles across Europe as old age travellers.
Your test car must must have been a unique specimen , as a fair amount of the actual owners of the D5 Inscription model have been reporting their dissatisfaction with the car fitted with the 20 " wheels with Continental tyres and the noise they produce.
The Volvo forum and Swedespeed are only a few of the sites where the problem is highlighted.
Volvo know there is a problem with the ride as their new XC90 "Excellence" model will have better sound insulation and will ride on the Pirelli Sound Cancelling System tyres.
