After 750 miles on the SC I have to say I am really wishing the SC had more of a rear wheel drive bias. Or rather., I feel that I would be happier with it as a daily driver. I'm used to Volvo AWD with heavy vehicles.
The SC pitches and wollows at times through intersections. Tends to nose dive in the front with shifts or even just letting off the gas right before making the turn. The steering seems prone to agressiveley tighten after already being in the turn any unloading of torque from the front wheels, and very quickly feels like it's understeering with the throttle. Heklrky jerky at low speeds Where I live most roads have a year long film of sand.
I can't say what more a more RWD bias would be like , I just feel like it would be preferable.' I'm ignoring the issue of weight distribution over the rear wheels and the inherently riskier prospect of the rear in letting loose.
Transient loading and unloading of torque with the CVT shifts on wheels( tracking and steering effort) through the corners really amplify my PO perceptions I think.
Some vehicles would look at a rear sway bar help with the understeer feeling, not a thing with the SC obviously.
Overall it is a good vehicle to drive. But I would like to dial it in.
