D3 (2.0) auto's - gutless?

Looking at a V70 D3 2.0 Auto for my wife, 2011 - would these be a bit low on power or can they pull well and deal with country road overtakes OK?

That’ll be the D5204T2 engine. Still a 5 cylinder with 163bhp & a single turbo. I’d say its perfectly adequate.

My car has 163bhp (2007) also with a single turbo. There’s plenty of power for overtaking & country road driving.

Can't speak for a D3, but my D5 (163) manual has plenty of power even with it's current boost leaks.
