Whats better than a Phase One S40 T4?
 

When I say Better I mean. Faster, as reliable possibly newer?
I Love my T4 best car I have ever owned. I have had her 6 yrs and now I fancy a change? My experience with this Volvo, makes me want another one. It's bombproof. What do you all recommend and why, remembering I am used to 200bhp. Thanks Lee

Depends what you want to pay really, decent 850s are become few and far between, V70 P1 also the same, if you want something a little quicker and newer I'd be looking at the P2 V70 S60R, plenty of threads on here on what to look out for, but a well sorted one which fetch strong money but once you've been in a 5pot you won't want to go back to your T4 (quick as they are)

My only Volvo experience is the V50 T5 that I have now. It’s an auto but still quick. 5 cyl turbo with 230bhp.

Do you want to continue with Volvo, or move to another marque?

You want to buy my old 9-5 Aero estate stage 3+.....

Hello, as you have a saloon I imagine your a fan, so I’d consider a S70 T5. There’s a few on EBay, and one in grey which is an ex police car, so I imagine it would be tuned. There’s a red one on autotrader, but is very basic and doesn’t even look like a T5. The S70 T5 has more power than a 850 T5 from 225 to 240 BHP. The S70 is also more modern inside, but the 850 is still the same car really. Or if you’d spend a little more there’s a S70R in silver on autotrader, these cars a really rare and don’t come up often and also can be an investment for the future. It’s a Manual with 250 BHP and a LSD.
Hope this helps

If you are happy with the your S40 then stick with the name and get he newer model and go for an S40 MK2 T5

Thanks but no thanks. I prefer Saabs jet fighters to their cars

My Volvo has been so reliable and cheap to maintain, I would be more wary of something else. Unless you could recommend a car with a similar track record?

I would be just as happy with an estate, but I do like your recommendations
Thanks

Fair enough, but the 9-5’s probably the cheapest route to 295 bhp and 440Nm....
