Default S40/V50 buying advice

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of getting back into Volvoland after a few years by buying an S40 or V50 diesel. Having had an 850R and 2x V70Rs I'm obviously performance biased so am thinking of the D5, but is the 134bhp 2.0TD a viable alternative? I don't think I can stretch to a D4 (2.0 5cyl?) version sadly.

Is the 2.0TD a reliable engine? How is it performance wise? There seems to be a lot of them about, so it would be easier to find a nice 2.0 than a D5...

Thanks in advance
