2006 Volvo V50
T5
AWD
Sport package
White
6spd Manual
Should be here in about 2 months (ships from Belgium I believe). It was more than a Jetta but with no one able to provide a real date on a GLI, OR a 4 door GTI (or if we'll even get them for that matter) plus other reasons we decided on the Volvo. We also had no intention of getting AWD either but with the incentives, the lower rate on the AWD it worked out to only a few hundred bucks more.
I've done a lot of research and apart from a few small issues (mostly on early 05's) they look like they are really solid cars so it shouldn't need TOO many trips to the dealership (but it is still Euro).
The only dissapointing bit is that there isn't much of an "aftermarket comunity" but I think I can live with that (and I still have the rabbit).
I can't wait!! (I think with a chip I should be able to take Ryan too!
)
P.S. Big thanks to the guys at 5th Ave. for working with us on the Jetta, it was really close (really close) but we were able to make the Volvo work (My wife really wants one), it was a very good experience, I recommend going to them if you have any questions or want to try out the new 2.0T. (anyway, just wanted to get that in there).
