Quite easy to essentially turn it into a Focus ST AWD estate with Volvo badge with a few part changes such as ARB, suspension settings etc... The engine is pure Focus ST and will take 99% of performance upgrades that are available for them...
Wrong way around mate, the Focus uses a de-tuned Volvo T5 lump but yeah there is loads of suspension parts about as well as a gazillion T5 tuning parts from the huge Scandinavian Volvo tuning scene and the ford scene. So yes it's like a practical Focus ST that you can own without looking like a yobbo

Also 4wd will be useful occasionally and help getting all that power to the ground, especially if (when) you get it remapped.

The 4WD is a cool feature and ridiculously rare, I feel like I'm getting a really good deal from the Volvo.

Yes I would mate. Just watch anyone with a FWD big power Saab or Volvo do a hard launch without being careful and it's all wheel spinning and no go. 4WD will make it faster in the real world as you can use more of the power more of the time.
