I still think the T4 is a faster car than the newer S40 T5.

Both me and my dad think our T4s are quicker and he drives the T5 all the time :/

There isn't much between them really in performance. T5 is probably more grown up in comparison but can't see there being much of a difference. I think I would have your T4 over a T5. With that said the T5 does sound better but I think the T4 is equally as capable and I prefer the S40/V40 to the S40/V50.

When we got the 9-5 Aero there was a noticeable difference from the T4, the 9-5 felt much quicker mid-range, although 0-60 the T4 would of likely kept up. Saabs though are quick once they get going. 2nd in the saab had me giggling like a school girl lol!

Depressing going back to my 1.8 ha! I'll survive though

Just taken the car for a quick spin to help bed the new rear brakes in. Also had sorted the cabin filter.

There is that. My repairs to the fuel guage have failed though so there was irritation mixed in with that.
