I just had a play with one of these in S plate Estate guise and it couldnt get past.

Anyone had any experience of them?

I have a 1.8 20v Turbo A3 with a remap and stuff.

Taaaaa.

Just a few roundabout to roundabout sprints. Started inching nearer me at 130+ but was dead on otherwise. I got over the roundabouts quicker but the Volvo will weigh about as much as a cathedral to be fair.

220-225 aren't they?

Don't think the normal, non R versions are near 250?...

850 is 220. S70 is 240. They aren't shy.
