Mixed bag:- Volvo C70 T5, Alfa 156 SW JTD and a Saab 9-5 TiD. Had the Volvo by far the longest, and it is the best car of the bunch.

Is the t5 std ? And does it put a smile on your face if you boot it?

Engine wise, standard except for a J.R. panel filter. Manual, and yes, she does make me smile when booted, but at the same time will do around 33mpg when I decide to save some pennies.

Hello and welcome, you have a good amount of choice when it comes to Volvo's and power, there are plenty of options which can even include diesel...!! Do you prefer front or rwd ??, as this then opens up all sorts of engine and power choices, which then depend on how much power do you want and how deep are your pockets....??? some stuff can be simple bolt on mods and an ecu swap or flash, other builds can involve custom parts and tunes.
