My diesel C30 is nine years old. For practical reasons I'm looking to get a pre-owned five door replacement, petrol engine/manual gearbox. I like the cab layout which is obviously common to the C30 and V50. One thing I've learnt in this forum is that engines vary greatly across the vintage and model of Volvo you choose. Any advice on which petrol variant to look for/avoid? I'm not chasing performance so 2.0 litre is the largest spec I'd need. Thanks for any help.
