Hi - all, I am relatively new here.
So on Sunday I ordered a S70 for September delivery - in looking at all the threads, no one has ordered the S70 - just curious why??
....
The 10 extra miles of range does not seems to be that big of a deal. What else am I missing or should I know or worry about???
Thoughts??
There is nothing you should worry about. If I were to buy to buy today I would get the S70 model. However when I bought it was a choice S60, S85 or S85D. For some reason I can't quite grasp a lot of people put a lot of importance on AWD, personally I have never missed it in all my years of driving, and we sometimes have brutal winters here. So I really don't get what all the fuss is about with regards to AWD. My impression is also that in the real world the AWD system is not that much better with regards to range than the RWD system.
I use my car for work, driving my wife on house-calls when she has the evening shift, and so far we have not needed the extra range provided by the last 15 kWh.
But as the S70 is brand new and very few, if any, have been delivered to customers. That's why there is so little info the S70.
Still I think it's a great choice and congratulations on your purchase.
