If money were no object or I had won the euro millions jack pot I'd go to the local franchise and tell them to build - from scratch a P2 V70 AWD R MANUAL.
I'm currently luck enough to run such a 2004 example but its getting older each day and no other Volvo past or present is as good, as a good AWD R.
There are cheaper models but don't give the same big smiles.
Its a 300bhp petrol engine (not oil burner) manual gearbox ( not slush box) has a proper handbrake ( not some stupid ebrake) and has a carrying capacity I have yet to fully fill ( not some image conscious sloped 5th door)
Currently, Volvo don't make a powerful, petrol, manual estate. Sorry until they do, cross me off the possible new customer lists.
Cheers
Bob
