Hi Nate,
No load in the back yet... and mine has a normal suspension, but as you mention some did have auto height adjustment. The last few years of the V70 (after they were re-designed in 2008) you could only get the 3.2 non-turbo motor. It's smooth but needs to be revved a bit to make power : )
Yes, I also love wagons and I suppose this is the spiritual successor to my long gone but not forgotten 9000 CS which had a hatch and was uber-versatile. They also both have a similar heavy, quality feel.
If you want the 300hp turbo you will need to buy an XC70, which I also looked at. Totally different feel - very soft and floaty.
Cheers, John
