It put me off so much that I put the summer wheel on rather than drive on it so I don't know how the vehicle handles with the space saver on. The boot floor is deep enough that the full-size tyre will fit under the boot floor - although it is a tight fit! You lose the under floor storage but in future - especially when towing I'll be doing that.

Q: was this spare really the one supplied by the Volvo dealer?!! |
It is the factory supplied space saver supplied by Volvo. It is the same dimensions as the one you list above from TMS.
