My two Volvos had 'W' modes and start out in 3rd gear. They're slow though.

Not part of the in-crowd since 1952.

The one thing most people don't realise about the 722.6 is that it has 2 reverse gear ratios.

When is "S" is has the normal reverse and when in "W or C" is has a reverse ratio a little taller/longer than 2nd.

Try it next time you get bored............it is the most common "fault" when people complain their car can't backup their steep driveway.

Otherwise it's fine to leave it in "W or C"
