I suppose at the right price I'd be tempted by a T5 but deep down I think it'd be so I could say I've had one/got one.Mean time my 2.4 n/a 140 version does just fine.O.k. it's no road burner off the line and it more gathers pace than accelerates[but then I'm comparing it to my Omega 3.0 auto where you stomp on it the rear squats and goes]but in the real world of heavy traffic and speed cameras etc it doesn't disgrace itself and wouldn't be so very far behind at journeys end.Not to mention cheaper insurance and better fuel economy.

Asking £620, you's probably get that for £500 https://www.gumtree.com/p/volvo/volv...age/1312507135

or couple of quid more this looks more promising : https://www.gumtree.com/p/volvo/volv...ot./1312835537

Not T5's, but a 2.0ltr (lpt turbo IRC) and should make a good runabout.

Cheers all
