    I know the car is a bit Chav everyone, but as you should all agree as a drivers car go they are in a different league to any volvo, nice to have a car that doesn't creak, have any wheel wobble issues, as a point to point b road car not much will keep up with it.

    OK, so i know everyone to there own, but to be honest i don`t think you know what you really like as a motor.

    After your V70`s you tried an 850 as you said in your posts that they are quicker down the straight but it does appear that you are fed up with that already after a "tappy" engine. Rod`s maybe again as you do seem to not tune the correct way!

    Still enjoy your very noisy chav motor which you cannot at all compare with a decent Volvo.

    My old relic of a V70 T5 does not creak or have wheel wobble as i fit the correct Volvo parts and not on a budget.

    As far as keeping up with it, i do believe you are in cuckoo land.

    Sorry if i offend, but i only write as i read!

    where has that come from mate?
    thanks for your useless input, you are aware i still own this


    do you honestly think a t5 can keep up with an impreza down a b road?, i have owned many more t5's than you and i love them before, now and i will continue to, they are not the best drivers car tough are they? they are not designed to be, i have been tuning and modifying t5's for 6 years and owned around 15 of them and i would never choose an impreza over my s70r, but the impreza would batter it through the twisties. there is a reason the impreza forum is 100 times the size of volvos. and imo ive made some pretty looking volvos

    Frankie the reason you have creaky cars is that you always go for estates and then fit massive wheels on them lol

    Seriously though, if you sold you 850 to fund your s70, then why have you got a car thats cost more to get than the what you would have got for the 850?
