Honestly it’s too early for me to say definitively. So far it’s been awful rainy weather and until I know the car better and rack up a bunch of miles I won’t “ push it” . Of course everything I say is going to be relative, we’re talking about a station wagon, a lifted station wagon at that.
My initial impression when i drove a 3.2 was that they are kind of ponderous. Maybe it’s the 18” lower profile tires but the T6 feels better.
I’m coming from a minivan, (Chrysler Town & Country) ...a very nice car for maybe the first 50,000 miles but at 95,000 everything was falling apart. I remember thinking that my old XC70 felt like a sports car compared to that van.
I think once I get used to the T6 it seems like it will do fine on fast sweepers but not great on tight turns (again this is a wagon).

What was your take?
