Hello all. Been a while since I last posted. The S60 I looked at last time that had a dodgy fuel gauge and a few fault codes my reader found got sold by the garage before I could call them back. Ironic eh?

I am not looking at 2 more Friday/Saturday A 2007 S40 2.0D (110000miles) and a 2008 S60 2.5D (90000 miles)

I will be doing the occassional 1000km round trip which is why I'm looking at a diesel (plus I have a fuel account.) but which would be the better choice?

Having not had a Volvo since the 90's (a lovely 760 GLE Wentworth 4sp with O/D wish I had never sold it!!) I am asking you guys in the know.

The miles will be all motorway but just how much difference is there between the 2.0D and the 2.5D fuel economy isn't the be all and end all but it all helps.

To me the S60 looks a more "comfy" car than the S40 but the S40 looks like it too could handle motorway miles.

Many thanks guys.
