We certainly find the ride very comfortable in the V70. I know there's a difference in wheelbase (about 8½") and there will other suspension differences too I guess.
I had VW company cars for 13 years (Golf & Passat) and always found them typically hard riding - also BMW's when I've driven them. Another reason why I love my Volvo...
