Love the floating console in these cars as well  |
I am on my second mk2 s40 here, prevoius one was a 2.0d and was a bag of problems and went it was fine I just loved the car. Love the car so much when I saw a T5 appear in the colour / condition / mileage an service / manual that I wanted, I snapped it up in a heart beat without even looking at the car and just put a deposit down.
With my current one it has to be the most reliable car I have had not requiring much work to look after, which I guess has allow me to mod him. very solid car and doing absolutely tonnes of driving with him.
I bought mine at 45k and its now 115k in 3 years and it is still going strong, just requiring a timing belt change but it does go for services regularly.
Just to add I have had a small list of things from the dealer on my car post, but even so these arent really a big deal at all at the moment.
