Interesting - managed to find a comparison between the two engines and it surprised me that the difference of 42 BHP and a lack of AWD results in a difference of only 1.1 MPG!
http://www.volvocars.com/uk/explore/...rformance.aspx I know that the published figures are not what to expect (except in one case ), but as we are doing a comparison that is largely irrelevant. This means that the figures that Daleman has reported are probably correct, and that they are inline with an expectation of a real world which is 10-15% below the theoretical laboratory conditions. |

It does not surprise me. You rarely can get something for nothing. I would expect that the smaller engine pushing the same mass around would get approximately the same fuel mileage as the equivalent larger engine.
However, it is good to hear that the 2L engine has good performance, similar to the 2.5L engine, up to reasonable operating speed. Good enough for most people. In Oz generally there are no speed limits above 110 kph. But they do not offer the D3. Edit: Of course, the D3 is FWD only which may not suit the Australian market.

However, having the D5 myself, there is no-way I would ever get anywhere near the indicated figure. Not even by knocking off 10%!!

Neither
'Squaddie' for a few years then had to start working for a living - but the hotels and rewards became better when I started to work for a living, and Munich/Frankfurt were so much nicer that Hanover! Last edited by wimorrison; Aug 10th, 2010 at 13:21. |

Agree!! Hannover is not the nicest place in Germany, although the surrounding areas are very nice!

Loaded D5 Geartronic
Only had the D5 for a day but I'm impressed with its overtaking capability. Give me so much more confidence to overtake. Engine noise at idle is louder than I thought it would be, even louder than my trade in Picasso.
Early days yet, I've also got a message which states "Coolant Low". Got this error when moving the car a few yards to let someone out. So I'll have to take a look this morning before heading off to Robin Hood's Bay in about 10 mins. Last edited by Teejay1; Aug 29th, 2010 at 10:07. Reason: Should say LOANED but can't edit that ! |
