Default Need some help with expectations management

Looking for some opinions on those who have driven both a V70 and S80... I added a V70 to my garage a few months back and been driving it with a torn up suspension. I'm getting it repaired this week and want to start managing my expectations on how it should feel. My basis for comparison is my S80 and I'm not convinced that is a fair comparison. A wagon would seem reasonable that it might be a softer ride and maybe have a bit more body roll than the flagship S80 (which by the way is one of the best suspensions in my experience). Any thoughts out there??

Hi Piecekeeper,
My 02 V70 rides like on a cloud. Very soft. Extremely tight steering and body roll. Biggest annoyance is if hard tires are on it. On soft rubber you glide right along. But you're right, it ain't gonna handle like your S80.
