@@cptmiche I cannot proof you would be wrong :). I found this somewhere and so far I have believed it: "The manual adjustment is due to safety design. The engineers were not able to get the steering column and mechanisms to collapse out of the way in a frontal crash with an electronically adjustable unit, given wiring harnesses and connections. The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way." That also indicates it is not only about airbag. Maybe Volvo figures out some day how to do it so that it satisfies their safety standards. I also believe that Volvo's internal safety standards are pretty close the best in the world ... but this feature would anyway be nice...

Great honest review! However I think you're nick picking a bit driving it like sports in Hybrid mode, which you mentioned this is not an issue if you've set it to Sports mode. Haha... But I think it would be good if Volvo could provide a User programmable button on the steering to allow immediate/emergency mode switch or whatever when needed instead of meddling with the screen everytime we need to do something.

Stunning

There's a reason why Volvo is in the bottom 10 of JD Power 2021 Dependability Rating.

This car is amazing. I did pass on the T8 because I was skeptical of it. My T6 is about as fast now so it was worth it to just get the T6

Gorgeous are and nearly impossible to find in the S90 T6 Inscription model. As someone who has owned Mercedes and BMW’s, I’ll stick with Volvo for equal comfort, powerful full efficiency and all those extras like Heads Up Display, sun shades, and elegant looks. Agreed, that they just need to tweak the roof about 1” higher and the rear passengers would be more comfortable. The legroom in the front and rear are outstanding, and this is a LARGE Sedan. Great review thanks.

Love them. I just can’t get with the engines. No 4-cyl should be both turbocharged and supercharged. It’s a ticking time bomb.

The interior of this reminds me so much of the 2015 Chrysler 200c with the real wood option. The two tone wheel with the white blonde and black, aluminum trim, and wood trim reminds me of a 200c a lot. However the Chrysler has a metal ring going around the wheel.

The manual tilt and telescoping wheel is more at home in a entry level Ford than a $65K luxury car. Reliability is also an issue with Volvos in general. Also, the twin charged engine is loud and pretty harsh when compared to 6 cylinder equivalents. The BW sound system is amazing and the car looks fantastic.
