    I'd like my mrs to get 2004> s40. A T5 preferably, but the insurance is a bit high for her.

    Congrats Jayne, its her new car and if I'm very good she might let me drive it and it is a pleasure to drive. With the money saved she might be able to afford the new lights for the back of the V70R AWD

    Very good choice indeed.

    Like Wayne I would be interested to know the results of real life MPG with the quoted figures.
    Well thank you, we will be putting the figures on to V70Graham's Milage and Expenses thread http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthre...penses-in-2013

    Looks nice mate, even if it runs on the fuel of Satan.
    Runs very almost silently on the devils fuel

    Sites more about the appreciation of Performance Volvos over owning one
    There's more chance of hell freezing over...lol, she's volvo smitten and knows she's always welcome here, she's still got her V70R, I've just got to fix it

    will be looking into that, to see how much more we could possibly save, not to worried about extra boost, as we have the other cars when we want to go for a blast
