To me they are New

[MacXC60T5]

As been away for a while from Volvo I have been looking at two vehicles that I am very impressed with. I have been offered a very good price for my BMW 116i against a 2011 S60T6 and a S60T5 As I only cover 3.5 to 4k per year mpg is not a problem the T6 has every conceivale extra Volvo could fit as it was an ex management car with 36k. The T5 is Dec 2010 has done 6k only so as new. What surprised me was the T5 @ 242 bhp with the T6 @ 300bhp. Any comment about the two vehicles would be appreciated My last Volvo was a V70T5. Things have changed a bit LOL

I believe the T5 you were looking at is a 4-pot (I know - sacrilege aint it!)

I'd go for the T6 and slap a polestar map on it

The T5s are still 5 pot, which is the one I'd go for as the T6 are auto only.

Really? there was a stint of calling some 4-pot motors T-5, I thought they'd carried it on.

According to Wikipeadia they have 2L 5 pot engines, but other sources say they're 2.5 5 pot, I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

The S40 had a 2.5 Focus ST 5-pot but I was reading the brochures in my local stealers when they did my DIM and there were second gen S60s that came with a 2.0L 4-pot turbo with 243bhp called a T-5. The sales assistant didn't appreciate me grilling him over it and declined to comment weather it was a Ford derived lump.

[T5RatherAmusin]

it kills me they never did a manual t6!

Parkers has one of the T5s down as a 2.0 litre 4-pot

The T5 is dead - long live the T6

[M-R-P]

Wash your mouth out Mr wobbly!



...Besides, they'll all be tiny 4-pots with hooj turbos soon any way.

This is a current picture of the 2010 T5. Not sure about the colour if I can live with it, seems to be growing on me but reminds me of the runny stuff.
Only done 6k miles since new

This view it does not look too bad


This is the T6 I am viewing 24k miles



Could be a better buy or could it any suggestions?

I would love the new t5 or a t6 awd but no manual in a t6 = CRAP

Saffy or black, hard choice, especially as we have both.

No one notice the polestar badge on the boot
I don't like all the silver trim on that T6 and I've seen sportier alloys on a kia.

[M-R-P]

T6 mate, it's got semi-manual so you get a bit involved.

Oh poo, I'm advocating autos...

Sod the gearbox... It's mapped
