Steve, I would add one more comment to my earlier response. I find the 2004 NA V70 I have to be quite responsive. I do have a heavier foot than my wife and feel that the "fuzzy Logic" or adaptive transmission(which I am led to believe is used by Volvo) reflects that in the car being fairly responsive.
My wife's 2003 XC (which has the turbo), but is driven with a lady's foot and loving care...... seem slow in comparison when I drive her car.
If I was buying a car to drive in the city most of the time it would be a NA
V70. Good luck,
