I was given a V60XC T6 for a loaner last summer. The same four cylinder rated about 300hp, I think. The technology must be close to what Ford is using in their Ecoboost engines. The car itself was pretty nice. If you ignore the huge sticker price and like electronic gizmos. It drove well, rode nicely and had good seats. The satnav was slightly more intuitive than Peugeot's, but not as easy to use as Nissan's. We drove around rural Hancock County, mostly on two-lanes. Some twisties (the car felt pretty good) and some construction zones (it didn't shake our teeth out). Averaged right around 30mpg. A tad better than what my 09 V70 3.2 FWD might do.
Nice car. For the price you might do better with something else.
