I used to have a T5 with just of 300hp - they are a useful tool, and with the sort of power i have, they lasted well, could maintain 10k service intervals and do of 200000 without missing a beat. The trick was to make the front tyres last until the next service

iv'e just sold my 850R but now have a new shape V70R 300bhp as standard 6 speed with adaptive damping which is adjustable from the cockpit sounds awesome still not as quick as my 3dr though. If i could finda descent 850R saloon manual i'd probably sell the 3dr
