maybe that's just me.
It's not just you.

Have you fiddled with the ohlins? I believe you can set the dampers on the screen.

If you're worried about dirt on the exterior look at getting the paint prepped and ceramic coated (of some kind) as it will really help to stop things sticking to the car.
Car looks great, a lot of Audi-esque styling but maybe it's better than the run of the mill Avant.
Also, would be interesting to size down the wheels and see if the handling and ride balance changes.

So a first few day review of the V60...
It's damn fast. And apparently not speed limited and I didn't notice the speed, but will now be more mindful of it. The acceleration is available through the entire range, and I know that's just the electric driven rear wheels, but still it's fast. And those brakes, Brembo something, whatever they are really bite. And it's got big wheels, and so much grip, so even on the country lanes around Goodwood it stuck to the road.
It's also super comfortable. The seats are even better than the ones that were on the S90. All of the media and entertainment was a breeze to set up. And I can use the app to turn on the air conditioner a few minutes before returning to the car so on a hot day the car is cool instantly.
I like the fact that aside from the silly large wheels, you couldn't really spot that this is a fast car. It's understated, it's just an estate that happens to be able to go fast.
I've done 336 miles in a few days, and absolutely love it.
Oh... and adaptive cruise control in sudden torrential rain already saved me from a ding. It was very sudden, and the spray meant I had no real visibility, when the car in front slowed, my car slowed even though I couldn't see why until a moment later.
Complaints? Erm... I'm not sure I see the point in sun roofs, but maybe that's just me.
