New Car - Volvo

Been after a decent S60 T5 since my last one died a horrible auto gear box death. Picked it up yesterday and loving it all over again. This time it's the facelift version with 260bhp, but most importantly a manual. 52k miles and cost £4,995.

Pics.

Always thought these looked quite smart.

That's a lot of car for 5k!

Jealous, wish I could afford the running costs of a T5!

It's a joystick.

That's a very nice buy.

Has anyone had experiences of both the T5 and the ST220? I would be interested to know how they compare?

- Very nice motor by the way

Probably bit different, T5 is a lot more wafty I would suspect. Fairly fast in a straightline but not great in the corners.

Waft - its the way forward.

Pretty much. The manual/sport is less wafty than the SE/auto version but still doesn't corner nearly as good as the ST220. Straight line speed is great, makes a great sound as does the ST220.

It's hard to find a decent T5 these days, most are 100k+ mileage autos. I really like the interior quality, not sure what the ST220's is like.

Sounds like a good buy for £5k. Enjoy.

Considering getting a warranty which is new territory for me. WD want £400 for their 'SecureCare'. Any one familiar with this cover and know if it's any good?
