There‘s a great rubber brake pedal, obviously designed for some big Swede so he can do a panic turn But it‘s not a bloody great whack in the back like a Porsche (thank goodness). The new age of computâ€" erâ€"controlled turbos pile on power in a linear manner which is easier to cope with as it allows the brain and eye/hands to keep pace geometricalâ€" ly with the increase in ground covâ€" ered. The boost gauge is up nice and high on the instrument pane! and in line of sight slightly to the right is the tach. Instead of having to wait for the revs to built (as in the bad old turbo lag days), just get the boost pointer in the positive side of the gauge and â€" whoosh â€" the power comes in. Well this system also does wonâ€" ders for the torsional rigidity of the car which is further increased because this is a wagon. Forget about body flex like you had in you dad‘s ‘73 Mercury Marquis wagon, because this Volvo likes to boogie. Of note is Volvo‘s industryâ€"leadâ€" ing Side Impact Protection System. It‘s a frame within the frame which takes side impact blows and routes the kinetic force in several directions thus reduction the point of impact intrusion into the passenger area. â€" no problem with grip here. Keeping the wheels to the ground is Volvo‘s patented Deltaâ€"Link indeâ€" pendent rear suspension with coil springs and gas shocks. At the front, MacPherson struts are coupled to asymetricallyâ€"mounted coils springs with forged lower link arms and a stout 20 mm stabilizer bar. There is threeâ€"channel ABS working with ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear.. The Turbo has handsome alloy wheels with five aeroâ€"swept blades. Each is 6.5â€"inches wide and 16â€"inchâ€" es in diameter carrying a set of Michelin MXM 205/50ZR16 radial There‘s now a slice swath of wood in the dark grey interior adding an appreciated touch of warmth. The aforementioned seat for the driver is powered and adjusts up and down so I get enough head clearance even with the sunroof intruding on the cabin space. Being a Swedish car, you know extra care has been taken in seat design and those in the standard cloth of the test car were superb. Folding down the back seats does, in the finest Volvo tradition, create cavernous cargo space (74.9 cubic feet). Inside ,a lot of the ergonomics will be familiar to anyone who has driven a Volvo in the past 10 years. There are a few idiosyncrasies like remote mirror controls being two litâ€" tle joy sticks down on the console cover instead of on the dash. I still have trouble trying to turn the cliâ€" mate control system fully off. (Continued from page 1) used to write a lot about "turbo lag" and "torque steer" four and five years ago but these side effects of a frontâ€"drive, turbo vehicle have now all but been eradicated.
