Hopefully you guys will be able to give me a hand here. I was originally considering an 855R but, now I have more money to spend, I am now looking towards a V70R. However, I have got a few questions before starting to narrow down my choices and start testing them to buy.
They seem to have a massive variation in price for what is essentially the same car. They also seem to have stupidly high mileages (150k+). I am searching out something below 100k so that cuts quite a few options out straight away.
Anyway,
- Do all R AWD's come with thw twin tail pipe? I thought that was the case but several car's on autotrader seem to go against this.
- What real world driving differences are there between the 2.3 and the 2.4. Are there any major performance/chipability differences? Also, the Auto slows down the 0-60 but does it have any effect on the speed once moving, ie for overtaking?
- What are the tell tale signs of the transfer box being iffy? This can be brought on by uneven tyre tread depths I believe?
- What is the difference in fuel economy between the 2.3 and 2.4 and also the difference between the 2wd and the 4wd?
- Are the brakes different on any of these models? And how do they fare? Just able to cope with the speed capable, woefully inadequete or bloody brilliant?
- Also, what are the timing belt intervals in the 2.3/2.4 and how much should I be looking at to get it done?
I just like to make sure I have all the bases covered to help make the searching easier!
Thankyou very much in advance!
