Just got back from the drive and I was actually very impressed. It's silly quick, handles surprisingly well, hides its mass and stays flat and unbothered through turns. Bit of wind noise that was more like buffeting, but even with the Ohlins dampers it rode very well. Great fit and finish, the Android tablet is super simple and easy to live with. Almost made me wish iDrive was modeled the same way  Now let's see if the numbers surprise me too. |
Good to hear some impressions of the car, especially since the overall talk/news about the Polestar 2 has been pretty much dead after its launch. I really believe Volvo could have a more successful vehicle if they properly marketed it and sold it under the Volvo name and at Volvo Dealers. Did you find out if the car is serviced at Volvo? Or does Polestar come to you like the test drive?
I agree about the Android OS tablet. I used it in a XC40 EV and it was fantastic, plus has Google Maps, Spotify, and Google Assistant available, which means CarPlay isn't necessary. Very intuitive, and much more responsive than Volvo's previous Sensus OS.
