S60D5's What are they like to own?

[Liddo]

Are the S60 D5's quiet when on the move, or do they sound like a taxi???
And, after being RICA'd, do they have similar poke to a T5???? Id imagine the motorway blasts are quite good, but what about take off's etc etc. Just gaugeing whether to get one, or a lovely C70 I've seen

Go and try one!

I can only comment on the standard D5, as mine has yet to be 'Adamised'.

Off the line, the power isn't brilliant, but they have more torque than the standard T5 so mid-range is superb, once Adamised I would imagine they would absolutely fly.

The noise isn't very intrusive apart from when it's just been started from cold and obviously at a standstill... I actually like the diesel noise when accelerating... it sounds more butch than any other diesel I have been in or driven.

Oh yeah, and if you're very careful on the motorway you can get 65-70mpg, so some nice cost savings on fuel to be had too!!

At Donnington Park, my S60 D5 was timed doing 0-60 in 7.2 secs. I posted a dyno chart before showing the D5 sports tune, and rest assured even the normal tune is more than a match for a stock T5.

If you drive to us, the price is £531 inc VAT with the VolvoT5.co.uk discount.

Alternatively you can go to our installation centre in Preston and have it done there.
