I like the car a lot, I don't like passenger seat much but other than that I love the car. It's pretty fast, faster than the R I think and it has the STI motor in it minus turbo and connecting rods... wink.gif

If I wanted a reliable, reasonable car to drive every day, no way would I choose a Volvo. Mine gives me enough trouble just being a third car that I tinker with. tongue.gif

So go go Suby power.

Exactly, I still have the T5, but this car is reliable, nice, has a great AWD system etc, plus it's for my wife, not me. The legacy has the STIs 2.5l motor minus the connecting rods and larger turbo. There is very little turbo lag and the motor is very responsive and QUICK. I think it's faster than both of my Volvos. ohmy.gif
