What are some good AWD cars you'd recommend instead?
>>16350575
This one has a 6spd manual tho?

>>16350583
Odds of that are highly unlikely. Manual ones are rare as fuck. If you're not going to keep it stock, don't buy it.

Go back to riding the fucking bus.

electrical nightmare. computer on wheels

If you buy a unicorn it's up to you to keep it pristine and preserve it.

>>16350676
not really.

>>16350690
Then kill yourself. You're a immature boyracer and the v70r is too good for you. Just get a normal wrx or Sti or G35 and ruin that.

okay, I'll go buy it for 6,450 and sell it to you for 7 even. If you can't afford that you can't afford a say in what I do with my money.

faulty electronics
fragile fwd-biased awd system
expensive aftermarket

if these are not your problem, go buy it, but for the buck you can definitely buy faster and more reliable cars

at least when you crash you know that swedish steel™ will keep you safe

I dunno man 300 HP and 300 tq for 6k with AWD and low miles is kinda hard to beat in the current used car market

It's a VR MT with Atacama leather? Shit that's rare.

I drive an '07 S60R and it's okay. Haven't had any major problems yet, luckily.

Stay away from '04/'05, get '07 if at all possible, as Volvo worked out a lot of kinks over the years.

The angle collar gears were particularly prone to failure in those years, which knocks out the AWD system. A differential electronic module failure can knock out the AWD system and the oil pump. The AWD system is beefier with automatic transmission models, for some reason.

Another other major failure point is cracked cylinder linings, which can happen even with an unmodified engine. It has something to do with cylinders overheating, which is more likely to happen if you increase boost, but can still happen stock.

The turning radius is absurd and will make you look like a fucking moron whenever you're parking. Three point turns become 5 point turns. What should be a quick dip into a parking space feels like turning a yacht. And stay away from parking garages with tight spiral ramps.

You'll only feel the engine's power when it's cold out, because Volvo used a tiny intercooler for the turbo that is prone to heat soak. A front mounted intercooler solves that problem, and it looks like the car in your pic has it. But that also means that the previous owner probably tuned it for more boost, greatly increasing the chances of engine failure.

People that have them like them. I like the old bricks.
