The V70R is a very good car, no denying it and yours looks very nice. can be a bit pricey though if you puncture a tyre with the AWD system as you'll have to replace all four at the same time.

I'd also be a bit wary about what VT claim, as theire have been some interesting discussions about them on the volvo owners club forum.

The issue I have is with the T5 is they are so quite and smooth they get a bit boring to drive in comparison to my Cosworth, but all in a cracking car with bullet proof engines at some good prices second hand

My V70R is a family car i have 2 kids & need an estate car it won't be getting modified , its perfect for crusing down through the south of France on family holidays, i've had plenty of performance cars including 3 cossies & M3's, i want a comfy car for everyday driving not a crappy boneshaker cossie. oh by the way i have 3dr cossie too but only gets used on trackdays now as its too noisey/bumpy for the road !
