gerimii Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I've been eyeing on this car since I saw it on Road and Track. I test drove the 2.5i standard, and I must say it was a fun car to drive, on top of that it is freaking beautiful!! Never thought i'd say that of a Volvo! Anyone seen or tried this car before? My lease on my current car is running out soon, and I think this may be the next in line! I'm thinking of getting the 2.5i instead of the T5 (cash flow reasons :money: ) http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?se...article_id=1371 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 That is nice looking for a Volvo...it's just that all that safety goes against my desire to take my life in my hands everytime I get on the interstate system going north from Chicago on friday and south toward chicago on sunday...there's something about bumper to bumper at 85mph :surprize: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleAA Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 ONe of my wifes freinds picked one up and is pretty much never buying another car again. I have been looking at the Acura 3.2 TL and the Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerimii Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I like the Nissan! Sweet car!! The other reason why I'm leaning towards the Volvo is because my dad can get a a huge discount on it. He sells Volvos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleAA Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Shoot....you might as well end this thread bro, no need for use to weigh the options, you have your new Volvo already, you just don't know it. If any one in my family sold Volvo's I would be on here stating the obvious. You can't beat a Volvo!! :cool: This is the ride I am working towards :money: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourSelect Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I have two german cars, and they are both the extreme example of the best engineering in the world. Although, I lean slightly towards the B than then M. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 EVOLVE S40 I just pre ordered this exact full areo kit should be coming early December, the twin air inlet scoops are custom body work and are surprisingly cheap at 250.00 a side and thats painted. I have 19" Work Meister S2R rims with a 52* custom offset in Black with Chrome lip that will be here in a month, I was stupid and picked up some H&R springs but when installed it the drop was 2" :surprize: that will eventually hurt the stock struts in time. I ended up getting another set of Evolve springs at 1.5" in the front and 1.3" in the rear. My car is red and IMO the black painted hood and trunk look cheap so my hood will be turned into carbon fiber along with my trunk and the roof painted black. If their are other euro junkies in here that are interested I would be more than happy to take pics every step of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfather1 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I know what it's like in the autobahn, I got a speeding ticket going from germany to switzerland I belive. I'll tell you there is nothing like a benz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technomarine Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 @24000-27000 range, I think Volvo S40 is a good for the money. My pick would be between the Acura TSX and Volvo S40. I would probably take the Acura TSX if the range is 27000 since TSX comes with standard Xenon, better stereo system, standard leather, 17" rims, and some extras. S40 T5 Turbo AWD is pretty nice too but that adds up to about 30k+, in which I would probably settle for the more powerful and better quality Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The best value car out there in my opinion is the Mazda RX-8. Can be purchased at Invoice. $27000-28000 including NAV. Seats 4 adults and the truck is large enough for 2 bodies... I meant golf bags.

HipCheck Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Never thought I'd see the day where we'd see the words together: "Cool Volvo" :cool: Years ago that'd be an oxymoron, like "Jumbo Shrimp". :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe295 Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Now that's a sharp Volvo...and no I've never driven on the Autobahn..I-90 is scary enough for me..I know how to drive, its the other idjits I fear... with 19in wheels you must have $1000 worth of rubber at least on that thing...but damn nice nice looking :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
