I have now been able to do a test drive in a V70 D5 with a performance chassis and 18″ wheels. A very nice chassis, which I criticized ́s swinging’ of the normal suspension was gone, yet there was still enough comfort. I noticed negatively that the whole vehicle seemed a bit ́klapperig ́, certainly a result of the harder shocks caused by the suspension. That was noticed but not really bad. Bad for me (my purely personal feeling) once again the extremely soft seats. For over 25 years I have been paying attention to the fact that in my vehicles (much-drivers with approx. 50,000 km / year) tight padded sports seats, partly Recaro seats are installed, with the result that I have no back problems at all. (whether this really is due to the seats, I do not know of course) For my decision, these seats unfortunately mean the KO for the V70. A little pity, the V70 really likes me quite well and it lies exactly in the middle between the two remaining BMW 3er touring and a competent Avant answer.
