You're not alone. S60

Working at a Volvo dealer I get to drive everything. The S60 AWD is unFxxxing believible! Talk about roadholding and traction, you can feel the AWD kicking in. Not that it's at all harsh when it activates, but you can feel the rear wheels pushing you around turns. From the tech stuff I've read the AWD and traction control is much more proactive in preventine a loss of control. However, I definatly lost control the first time I drove one, the car was fine, it was me that lost control. I'd probably go through tires like nothing if I had one, the car is much easier on tires and doesn't have the strict requirements that the old AWD cars have. I'd just end up being harder on the car, hence the tires.
Drive 'em Like you Hate 'em,
Chris
