I am currently driving a 2011 Volvo 630 with a 2250 ISX. The 13 speed transmission is a godsend for me I can keep it in 12th which brings me about 1600 rpm at 63 mph. Its perfect for me being loaded to 80,000 one way and empty on the way back. I wish the rear was a little taller but it works for me.

As far as driving habits? I SLOWED DOWN and stopped using the cruise when loaded (I still use it when empty and flatter ground) I am now starting to pop it out of gear when coming down a big hill.
