As an everyday car, i prefer my s70r than an 850. But as a weekend toy, i think i'd like the 850.

IMAO people have 850,s not because there cheaper to buy than s70 or v70,s as we all know they cost about the same to keep on the road these days. I spent well over a grand getting my 850 through its last MOT. I have a 850 T5 and not a V70 because they are becoming a classic. People say too me WOW thats a nice VOVLO 850 if I had a V70 T5 I dont think I would have the same sort of interest from passers buy when I am at the petrol station or supermarket carpark. IMOA The 850 just seems to be more of a challenge. Nothing gives me more pleasure than blowing a new car off in my M reg esate lol...........
I do like your saffy V70R matey...

[t5lover]

855 t5's and a 855R love them both ;)

You do get a good feeling when you embarrass a new car in our old boxy volvos! lol

[T5frankie]

[p fandango]

"it does what mpg?" lol

[LiamT4]

A lot of my convesations have this in it-
them "what engine does it have?"
me "a 2.3l 5cyl turbo"
them "turbo diesel?"
me "no, petrol"
them "really!? How much power do they have?"
me "they'v got 240bhp and 260lb/ft, when standard"
them "is it quick?"
me (depending on what car they have) "yep" ;)

[flyingbrick]

Yep thats the one buddy.............

must admit most people also always ask if its a diesel when you tell them its a 2.3 turbo lol

855 t5 here

[JETWASH]

Hello. New member with 850 T5 (M Reg) and lately an S reg v70 T5 (5 Speed Manual). Been trying to get detailed info on the v70 - it says T5 on the back but has twin exhausts and a totally alien engine bay with various modules from racing dynamics all over the place. How can I tell what engine/model the car is? Cheers - Jim

[MacXC60T5]

Sorry did not read the topic correctly. Mine is a 2005 P2 T5.:stupid:
