Stealthier cousin to the Focus ST. Probably a bit more refined than the Ford as well. A pity Volvo stopped making these engines, they are full of character and full of tuning potential, not to mention they can take the miles. Current Volvos won't last half as long as these old 5-cyl ones did.
These are so cheap here in aus, im thinking of buying one as a daily/secondary car. Found one with 116k km for $7500. How reliable are they? I've got a giulia qv and my daily right now is a 300k km 1998 ford laser that's on it's last legs, so need something ''cheap'' and reliable. Originally wanted to spend no more than $5k but for $7500, these looks like a nice, and FUN daily!
