Im looking at replacing my 2008 bmw 320d. Im not expecting the same performance as the bmw is slightly more bhp and lighter. But I can find any figures for 50 - 70 mph. Does the 163 have sufficient power for over taking ?

I've also been told by my company that Volvo are stopping the d3 2.0 163 and only the 2.4 AWD will be available with 163 bhp. Has anyone else heard this ? Makes sense as the AwD has the same co2 and mpg as the FWD.

I would love to hear any experiences with the 163.

Thanks Rob

Quick overtaking is no problem provided you start with plenty of revs. That simply may mean you change down to overtake, but nothing unusual in that.

The obvious thing to do is take one out for a test drive and see for yourself.
