• ^ all of this.

    And then the gearbox. It’s so, so, so slow. Even though I’ve told you this you’ll still be amazed at the time that elapses between throttle input and forward motion from a standstill. It makes every busy roundabout a terrible thrill.

    An old X5 or even a Merc ML is a better thing.

  • I'm a bit allergic to BMW and find the ML a bit hard to look at so maybe a GL is the move but the weirdness of the Volvo appeals to me as a luxe-barge...

    @skinny Jeep just would be for me unless it was an older Cherokee...

    This trait has been replicated on the latest XC90s / other SPA platformed vehicles too - I presume those with Hybrid stuff are better (?). But 1-2 seconds delay and not knowing if the car will take off or not is my biggest bug with my wagon, it's frankly unsafe.
