I had posted a thread a while ago when my roomate totaled his '93 Volvo 240. He finally got a new car after a few weeks of raping my poor protege Here's the old thread:
Anyway, he had just flown to Missouri to get a '98 Volvo S70. What a sweet-bling pimp car it is! He did get a rape-job though because the dealer listed it as a 5spd, and he got all the way out there and it turned out to be an auto. In any case, he got them to take $500 off the asking price, and he bought it anyway...
Like I said, it's a '98 S70, Red, black leather inside, Moonroof, power EVERYTHING, dual climate control, premium (8 spk) sound, all sorts of goodies... Anyway, for the fun part, it's a turbo inline 5 making about 238hp. If it wasn't for the auto tranny, this thing would be quite a rocket. The torque is very nice (peaks around 240 odd ft/lbs), and there is little turbo-lag. He hasn't romped on it too hard yet, he is replacing the timing belt tomorrow in case it's in bad shape.
Very swanky car, definately a great commuting vehicle, plus it has some real nice power/tq.
I'll try and post some pics, it's pretty hot!
