Hi
This is my first post asking for answers so please be gentle! I am a very happy (new) owner of a 03' V70 SE Automatic. I have a couple of questions;

1: When I purchased the vechicle a couple of weeks ago from a main dealer in the UK it was listed as having the Sports Pack with Dynamic Sports Suspension and 18" Nebula wheels.
Now, I can obviously see it has 18" rims but I cannot tell if it actually has the Dynamic Sports Suspension. It does appear to have a harder ride and it does go round corners very well. But as this is my first V70 I have no previous experience to go by. How Can you tell?

2: I came from a manual V40 so have some adjustment to the driving style of the Auto box. I am impressed with the smoothness and the grunt it has to offer. However, sometimes I find the box is to keen to get itself into 4th or 5th gear, even with the kickdown working, especially when pulling onto a dual carriageway (highway). I have solved this by selecting 3rd or 4th and allowing the revs to get higher before dropping the box back into Drive.
Does this driving style cause any problems apart from higher fuel consumption? Also conversley when decelerating can I use the 4th and 3rd gear to engine break?
I look forward to reading your posts
Many thanks

PS. I would ask the main dealer I purchased it from but they were about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

Is there no one out there with any answers at all????
