Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Amazing power, it's a lot faster to 60 than the 7.1 seconds the books advise. Wipes the floor with so called fast cars, and those who don't know what the T4 badge on back of a Volvo means...
What's it like to park?
I don't find it a problem, it is not as big as most people seem think.

All the toys on the car, leather, cruise control etc.. (and the TURBO)
