I can give you some info, we have one parked next to the XR. We have the V40 T4. that's a 1.9ltr high pressure turbocharged donk. Runs approx 1 bar (14psi) boost, it has a front mount intramacooler at the front, this flows top to bottom, rather than side to side. Power is somewhat handy for a little car. 147kws and 300nm torque. The T4 is the top of the range and can be had nowadays for very little coin. The 2 ltr you are talking about has bugger all power (98 kws ) and is bland unless the owner optioned it up. Have had no real issues with the car, bought it brandnew in 2000 and have now done 129,000kms no breakdowns or major issues. The T4 comes standard with climate, power everything (cept seats ), leather, child boosters intergrated into the rear seats, 16inch BBS hokenheim rims, ABS,EBD,TC. It has a tape player aswell as single cd. The manuals are slightly quicker, but he autos are good around town. And my opinion is that they were the best looking volvo wagon made. But it still is a bloody Volvo! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanx mate, she's actually keen on the se which comes with the extra fruit that you mentioned. does your v40 have the 4 or 5speed auto? or did you get the manual,if so, is thge manual the between the n/a and turbo models. cheers andrew
