I have the 163, which is a very good engine. However, if you can get a 185 or a 205( I think), then they must be really good. I would get mine mapped, but I don't want to mess around with the insurance again, as with doing just under 30k in it, I would have to declare the mod.
Current Car: VW Golf GT TDI 170 DSG

Its not something I would be doing hopefully for a while, im planning on running the V40 into the scrappy its been a brilliant car. I think I would look for a V50 D5 sport, but would really like a V60 but thats something I dont think I could justify., as a main car yes but not the second car that will get the miles pumped up on it.
Thanks

I get a load of stick from my mates, being 21 with a Volvo. Even after they saw the performance, I still got the pipe and slippers comments!
Regarding the surprise some people have when they see a young volvo drives reminds me of a time when some numpty was tailgaiting me, and getting pretty annoyed by the looks of it (plenty of hand gestures). When we finally got to some lights and he pulled up next to me, he looked quite surprised when he realised i wasn't an oap or something.
Although he was probably even more surprised when i smoked him off the lights.
