I have had no problems with the car.
This is a superb car its so fast you need a rocket license to drive it. It handles great and as for comfort its like sitting at home on a new leather three piece pure comfort.
My dear boy.. as fast as a rocket I think not!
That 2.8l V-6 is peaky, for sure - but it's not fast by any sorts. Try an 850 / S70 T-5 if you want fast Volvo.
