    my new volvo.

    just got home from buying my new v70 t5.... she's nothing like my 850. but she's probably a more sensible drive for the family car, i never owned a auto before so thats all a bit weird at moment, seems like a nice motor though, fingers crossed!!!

    very much so, the v70's standard untouched, seems slow compared to the 850, but dosent rattle and bump the living daylights out of you over the slightest depression in the good old english roads, dosent damage your hearing when opened up... feels more like the family seven seater i need, more than my own personal racing machine . im missing the black beast though.....

    Bet you are missing the beast but you'll come to love the V70 just as much and at the end of the day a remap would change it all together and you'd still have the comfy seven seater

    with the work you have done on it so far i would just iron out the cresses and then it should be a nice car and reliable
