When did the T5 become a 4 pot..? - Page 2

Is it just me who likes the idea of hoiligan driving with too much power through the front wheels like the classic T5's...?

There's a proper 5 pot T5 for sale with a Volvo retailer, they don't seem too popular though so I'm guessing they don't come up for sale that often.. would go for a test drive but I'm in the middle of a house purchase so will have to hold off for a few weeks unfortunately.

I know what you mean - but sometimes when it's wet, you just can't move off the line!

It's a shame that Volvo didn't revert back to the original RWD days in some ways - would have helped with handling and control with the T5s.

Finally got one, a 5 pot that is... love it! It's great to have the growl back again, there's nothing quite like it

Pretty sure you can get a 180bhp 2.0T "T4" 5pot in this model.

Never seen one, but apparently it's available.
