jamesmark Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have went to the other side of the coin and drive a Volvo. (although not a lefty, but in Scotland and no current pics) D5, 200bhp and 420nm of torque and returns 58mpg on a run and 42mpg around town. Totally love the car, fully loaded and a nice place to be in when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Totally love the car, fully loaded By 'fully loaded' I'm guessing you mean it comes with driving gloves, wing mirror extensions, tow-bar, blanket, pipe and slippers. Looks nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice though. Sadly, the deal that I got was not that rewarding. It only came with the 'label' Volvo drivers get. Although I still have somewhere some Bolle (sp) Volvo Yacht Race sunglasses I tried to sell when I first joined. Not surprised at the 58mpg, they are limited to 25mph. Has one of those chips fitted. Book tells me max I should get on a run is 42mpg iirc. They give on avg 20% increase on mpg. Lift it from a whopping 163bhp to 200bhp. The torque is bosted to 420nm from 360nm. So plently pulling power, already had a 79 year old and her homehelp. I have went... Ace from the spelling and punctuation head policeman Never knew I was. However come to expect your shild like manner. Bless, he is Scottish though Still better than being English. Oh, Happy Birthday to you by the way. Cheers CJ Not sure but titter ye not, they are damned good cars. If only they would make RWD ones again.... A tasteful and discreet machine, not seen one of those on this forum for some time OK, OK, I am getting my coat... They are fantastic cars. I have not driven my S14a for 3 weeks. It is a very nice, partical estate. The AWD is great, and grip is awesome even in the snow we had. Although it handles like Jo Brand in a water slide. Other thing I do not like is the electrics in it. Volvo must have a fetish for sensors. You can't change the lights without warning lights coming on. So will need to sell on the HID kit that was recommended to me. Also with the DLR lights there is no warning when you have the car using sidelights, as when ignition is off they turn to parking lights.
