We recently bought an '04 V50 T5 auto to complement our C70 T5 which really isn't very convenient when humping grandchildren into their car seats in the back of it. Now while the V50 is very nice to drive (and much more convenient for the kids' car seats!), it doesn't have anything like the performance of the C70 despite having a bigger engine. It's smooth but simply lacks the grunt of the 2.3 T5. Is this typical? If so, it hardly qualifies as a T5 methinks! Anyone else any comparable experience of V50 T5s versus proper T5s? __________________ Simon J
