Well finally i'm an owner of both. I've just bought a 2004 163bhp XC in Norway. I'm not saying how much for because it makes me cry inside thinking about it. I can say though now, for certain, the 163bhp is brilliant. Its a bit more dithery on the 5 speed box but it pulls up the norwegain hills as good as anything. The speed limits are only 80km/hr anyway so it does the job brilliantly. I also prefer the front end and the old lights. I would prefer the back bumper though of the later one. All I need now is a spoiler. Its only done 99000 kms so its hardly been broken in

Brilliant photos. I've had a 163 XC70 for 5 years and am looking to got for late 185 P2 or early P3. Do you notice much difference in power and fuel consumption?
