After having it for a week, I think it's more of a hatchback than a wagon. Its space is just too small compared to the boxy Volvo of the old days. But still much better than S60 anyway.
The digital speedo is one of the best features of the gauge cluster. Big and cllear. My only beef is the blue bright lights icon is too low and you have to look down to see if your brights are on. With the bending HD lights it has, the low beams are very bright too, so you're never 100% sure.
Very little on how it actually drives. Some cars get much better coverage of that. Btw, it's a hoot. You can floor it from a standstill onto another road and not worry about traction due to the awd.
Nice car but some of the characteristics you described are somewhat typical for Volvo amyway - some great things and some very questionable things. Still, I wouldn't mind one in my driveway. However, I'm interested in Volkswagen's new, upcoming Golf R Sportswagon. It's not clear if it will come to the States but if it does, please get your hands on one to test. If it does, there WILL be one in my driveway!

IMO - I feel like this video seems rushed because the pricing is given upfront - just doesn't FEEL right (even though other channels do it). Something is just missing from the latest batch of videos... can't put my finger on it... videos seem very basic compared to the theatrics of other channels... almost, shall I say it? Boring.
I feel like the background music is WAY too loud in this video.

Cooley we miss you!
Wish we could get a 335i Touring here !! Would be closer to $55K though loaded up.
Beautiful car. Love the digital speedometer housed in the tachometer. I wish all companies used this design. Analog speedometers are useless.
The digital speedo is one of the best features of the gauge cluster. Big and cllear. My only beef is the blue bright lights icon is too low and you have to look down to see if your brights are on. With the bending HD lights it has, the low beams are very bright too, so you're never 100% sure.
I noticed it had the Polestar badge on the back, But no mention of it in the review???
What a unique design
I like it alot. Only thing I would do in tint the windows and have it in a nice blue color, even tho this one is just finr!
What's up with the rushed reviews?
Very little on how it actually drives. Some cars get much better coverage of that. Btw, it's a hoot. You can floor it from a standstill onto another road and not worry about traction due to the awd.
This guy hates on EVERYTHING! Nothing is EVER good enough for him.
What happend to 60 FPS? :(
That is a nice machine...
If only they would have made this a direct injection, could have had the potential to fix its biggest flaw and that’s the fuel economy
there you have Cooley! are you babies happy now!
I love old school tech ... it’s more reliable
the back lights look like aliens from Crysis
I must have made a wrong turn at Albuquerque i was looking for a car reviewer not a car critic.
Not an audi rs, but nice!
Hey Brian...hmm!!
I think you mean "minimalism" most time you say "minimalist". Still love ya, PLEASE get on Top Gear US, it'll be so much better with Cooley.

if I remember correctly cnet did get their hands on one and cooley did the review
Is this guy from breaking bad?
It is basically as fast as an Jag F type R

Grzegorz Winiarczyk odstaw dopalacze ziomek
widzialem i ok ziomek
That percussion in the BG music was the most annoying and distracting thing ever. Please CNET don't put that in again
No real sport mode except for putting it in sport mode. Brilliant Brian. Brilliant.

This guy has no clue what he is talking about :(
LCD is not unique - FYI. Same as others.
