The Volvo is the same- at 70'ish you're in fifth and at the right revs for the turbo to spool instantly- press the pedal slightly and you have 20psi and all the torque, you're at 150 pretty effortlessly. As a motorway car it's only fault is a little wind noise due to the seals being 21 years old. It's elsewhere that the laggy nature of a relatively small engine with a relatively big turbo become annoying.
