hi. i couldnt agree more.no footrest is a serious omission.i recently bought a v50 2.0d ex demo, having traded in my v70 d5.While i am impressed with the car overall particulaly the handling i miss the old d5 diesel.the v50 2.0d is much rougher and knockier and so far not as economical as the d5 although i only have 6k on the clock.hopefully things will improve.that d5 engine must rate as one of the all time diesel greats!!!
My v50 hasn't been totally reliable as the EGR valve gave up.My car was off the road for a week whilst a new one was sourced.
The v70 in contrast was totally reliable all the time i owned it
