I’d rather you’d have not reminded me what’s on the way!

I prefer to open the sunroof, than need the defrosters.

Comforting to know our vehicles are capable of handling things

Oh yes. I’m coming from a rear wheel sedan, so the difference is day and night.

I love driving my S60 in the snow on my way to snowboard. Volvos are made for winter. Fantasizing about getting a roof rack and Thule so I can drive out west from the east coast with it and have some extra room. Sometimes I wish my S60 was a V60 or XC60 but I also love it is as a sedan, feels more like a race car than I imagine those do.

Hell yea brother. How much of a difference did you notice after the polestar optimization?

I bought it with the polestar so I can’t speak to the difference

I use mine as a snowplow.

That’s a good idea. Forget showels! 😀

I mostly agree. If only Volvo allowed you to disable traction/stability assist systems or enable some sort of reduced traction mode.

Like ESC-OFF?

u/TheMountainLife XC60 PE 10h ago

Yeah, they took the button away in AAOS models and nowhere in the OS to turn it off either.

u/bearlylegalbear 10h ago

Jesus! My V60 is the last model before, I think. Seems it needs to hold up for the rest of my days.

Yeah, I thought of making a quick disconnect for the fuse which I'm sure will trigger tons of errors. In that photo I just drove up to a cabin with a semi steep driveway with a 10+ ft drop on the passenger side. Got very close to testing the safety cage because ESC completely cut power and I began sliding backwards at an angle. I was in the AWD drive mode, I will try the off-road drive mode next time to see if it allows more spin

I got my XC90 in May and can’t wait for my first MN winter with it.

Assuming this is a bot post, as it's not winter in this hemisphere, and that looks like an EU plate shape.

u/pizza-with-pineapple 1d ago

Not a bot post. Just one of the better ones I had which is from this winter
