Hence picking you guys brains as nothing beats ownership to form an opinion.,

Here is another couple look ok, to me anyway. Mind you details say black so no idea what goes on there?

Having owned cars with both engines, if I was buying a 2WD late (2015 MY onwards) V70 I would only look at the 4 cylinder VEA engine with the 8-speed box. The5 cylinder engine is very good but the 4 cylinder VEA with 8-speed box is more refined, and just as reliable in my experience. Just make sure all the recall work has been done.

The 5 cylinder D4's have the 6 speed box I think...

You should also think about any travelling you might do and if a Euro 6 car would be beneficial (i.e. Birmingham, London or Bath).
