Favorite feature: |
Steering wheel moves when you get in and out of car. Wheel, seat, side view mirrors are linked to 1 custom setting. |
Least favorite feature: |
learning the radio |
Advice to buyer: |
If the vectoring doesn't bother you, check out the other wagons. |
Detailed review: |
I have an 850 turbo wagon, fwd, and the 2002 XC shocked me in it's quality, performance, and handling.
The 4wd overcomes the vectoring the fwd turbo exhibits when maximizing acceleration.
I was surprised the XC only had 197 HP, versus the 222 HP on the turbo 850. Accelaration is smooth and it seemed as fast as the 850T.
Quality is improved measureably, though the radio and temp controls take more than a couple mins to reorient. |
Also considered: |
