Hi all,
What are your general ideas/opinions on a 57 s60 t5 manual, the good, the bad and the ugly. Always liked the look of these and with the recent developments on the v70 I'm going to try and throw it back at them and get a full refund. The only reason I didn't look at these before was because I couldn't find any within 3 hrs of me. With that in mind I figured if I could get one that looks half as good as monkey t5's??? then I'll be a happy camper.
I have tried the search but it didn't turn up any results for s60 so please forgive me :smirk:
Advice welcome and appreciated as always
John

Did you mean T5Monkey? if so, he has an S40
that said, the s60 is a very close relative of the v70 and is subject to the same good/bad points
hth.

Evo liked it too back in the day can't say I have noticed the unsteadiness at top speed in my V50 and I was cruising the other day a bit faster than that at the end of the speedo!
