I bought the V50 recently. In the test drive, mostly city and a bit clogged highway, it seemed a bit strange to me, but did not worry me. Now in everyday life, on the free track, it is very noticeable. Problem. The car pulls very strongly when starting very short but then falls off strongly and accelerates only hesitantly. It is very lame and consumes a lot of gasoline. Under 12 liters hardly anything. For comparison, the XC70 of my buddy, also with automatic, like hell. The walk to the workshop is still pending. But are these “problems” somehow known? I have the throttle valve pot or the electr. accelerator in suspicion. Greetings
