But I couldn't bear the idea of having an XC that wasn't AWD.
Interestingly enough, my XC70 currently has an electronics fault which has switched off the rear wheel drive and the entire power output is going through the front wheels. And the car is much more fun to drive. It's lighter to throw about and there seems to be more power going down onto the road. I feel that the Volvo AWD system isn't like that on a Quatro Audi. It may make the car safer but it doesn't make it sportier in its handling. I suspect that I'm going to be disappointed when the fault gets fixed and the car returns to AWD.
