Hi all, I'm 3 years into ownership of a 2005 S60 D5. It's still an excellent car and nothing has gone wrong with 156k miles now on it, new callipers all round and new wishbones recently plus usual wear and tear items. It passes MOT's without fault. Not quite got the funds to update just yet but no harm in looking.

Looking at 2010 onwards if I was to upgrade, still diesel to keep the tax down and efficiency up. I want the same or more power as I've got used to the 163 horses and their umph and SE spec or above, nothing Spartan. I want to spend around 5 grand on maybe newer S60, V60 or S80.

I'm hoping people can put their two-peneth in and give some feedback on these models, good and bad. Or tell me to keep the old girl!

Thanks all, Jon-Paul.
