Ditto what "someone claiming to be" BG said. Turbo if you must have it, but stick to FWD and a set of snow tires unless you really need AWD. It adds a lot more things to go wrong. It sounds like you're getting by with 2WD now anyways.

As I understand it, the XC70s (and the '97 850 GLT) have the light pressure turbo (LPT) at 190hp, while the 850 Turbo and T-5 models are 220hp. That may be the difference you're seeing in the XC, along with the extra driveline to turn.

Happy hunting,

Will
