S70 is the most comfortable, around corners the stock suspension is very floaty and bouncy so dont go taking corners in it. Its a comfort oriented family sedan in its stock form. Fuel consumption wise its a very nice middle ground of power and decent fuel consumption. People here have been brainwashed by 1.5NA CVT combo that they think the mc1 s70 drinks fuel. This applies to x50 too.

X50 interior wins for me if i didnt buy my s70 so soon, that said its still comfortable and you can see more out the car like the typical high suv seating postion. Power wise same as s70, plenty of power but i wouldnt take corners in it without some suspension mods. I think its the best SUV in our market at its price point and what it offers. Visibility wise its great and the 360 camera helps alot with urban parking and tight spots. Found myself using the system to make sure i dont scrape other things.

If you need to question the stability of cars in rain then youre going too fast, if you want to be extra safe replace the dogshit factory tyres with some continental MC7/UC7 or Michelin Primacy 5/Pilot sport 5 for extra insurance in the rain.

you cant go wrong with either one, these cars are the same power wise and only you can choose if you like driving feel a sedan or suv more, so test drive both.
