The Swedes continue to be enamored of turbochargers, even as other manufacturers have abandoned them in favor of other tricks to boost horsepower. But there's nothing wrong with a good turbo. Modern designs are hardly bigger than the average person's fist, and they provide hefty horsepower and torque boosts without hesitation and no apparent downside in long-term reliability. There's no embarrassment at stoplights or in passing maneuvers. The ride is supple enough to handle rough surfaces without punishing passengers' backsides.
Easy parking is a bonus.
There are a lot of nice touches and only a few shortcomings. Fortunately, there is some relief from a redundant switch on the left front door that operates the driver's window. In back, there's a removable shelf for hats or small parcels, with a built-in shade to cover the cargo area. At 30 cubic feet, the cargo space is half again as big as the trunks on big luxury cars. Flip the back seat down, and you get 61 cubic feet of space.
