It's unfair to compare this vehicle to anything from Japan. The ride quality is far superior in the Volvo. You can feel the road. The T5 AWD has 17 inch wheels and 45's on it. what is skinny about those? Plus, this vehicle was designed to traverse frozen gravel roads at high speed in Sweden. I would put Vreedstein tires on it in the winter anyway. Store the low profile tires away until they are safe to use again in warm weather. The v50 t5 AWD so impressed me that I bought one with a 6 speed. I drove a T5 AWD and it reminded me of what cars used to be like, at least European ones with proper Euro shocks.

I am considering buying one of these, but after reading about how it doesn't handle well at high speeds, I will definnitely be cautious. I will have to test drive it and see how it feels.
