If your heart was really set on a cossie,you wouldnt even consider a t5.

Parts easy avalable,mail order.from the likes of woodfords,tank would onlt be good for towing cossie when broken down

its a v70.i know its not rwd but its fast and more reliable than a cossie if driven everyday

ive never owned one but would the volvo be as smile enducing as a cossie when pushed hard? more power as standard but a big heavy bus to push around. it sounds like youve already made up your mind on the volvo for its everyday reliability.tbh for an everyday car id probably go for the t5 as well but the old boxy shape one.

i like both volvos and cossie.but cant make my mind up on any of them.i keep going back to cossies.its so hard to pick.

another thing too the aircon, seats, and 13 speaker stereo are class, bearing in mind ur in spain.

benidormsteve

the seats are a bonus....aircon is a must. i dont want to look like a grandad.

the cossie delivers its power more snappy if you like here the volvo delivers it smooth and steady.t5s are very reliable.
i raced a guy whose 4+4 saph was supposidly 350hp t34,greens,big cooler etc and my stock t5 running a 305 remap and bigger exhaust outran him on the tight and twisty roads which we both knew until the longest of straights where hed catch up.he couldnt believe it could pull from him.

however as stated if its a cossie you want you wont consider the t5.
a cossie is raw and fun not knowing if youl make it home lol.

Volvo's are lovely cars, having to sell ours due to lack of space, I'll be gutted when it goes.
