Well, mostly no audi content. Let's see, volvo competes moderately with
audi, and the volvo S70 t5 awd is comprable to a few audis of the era.
So, I'd be looking at an interesting little Ovlov S70, 5 cylinder turbo
awd, circa 2000. It sure sounds nice on paper, no? Its an auto... But it
has all the quirky things we love! Weird 20v 5cyl, erm haldex awd maybe
not so much, and funky swede interior with a bunch of buttons and flashy
lights.
But, this little puppy scares me. Everything that's neat seems as it is
intrinisically hurtling towards catostrophic failure. A 5cyl motor is
practically in defiance of the gods just existing, and half of me believes
the swedes are high monday thru wed at work, just look at their styling...
But does anyone have some opinions on this car? Looking at a black on tan
model, heated seats and leather, auto T5. Very good condtion cosmetically
save the driver seat is worn, not torn, and a busted fog. The abs
computer is down, and it needs shocks. Hoping for a nice cheap commuter,
but a bit above your every other focus or cavalier.
