more than meet the eyes [laugh]

 

I'ev got problem deciding on my next car. Been digging at SGcarmart for the last few days and these are the alternatives.

 

Mid 08 C180k - $118k. Nice car but expensive and underpowered.

 

Mid 08 S80 2.5T - $98k. 197hp, reasonable but Volvo unreliable?

 

Mid 08 S80 T6 - $118k. Same price as C180k but 300hp. Still a Wowo...

 

Nov 09 Legacy GT - $99k, Wagon. Too bengz n high FC

 

Mid 08 Passat 3.2 - $100+k, boring image but 250PS

 

Mid 08 Skyline 250GT - $90k, slightly boring exterior

 

Around 3 yrs old, less than $120k. Need something to seat 4-5 person comfortably long distance and power for NSHW. Need to hit 180km/h easily and accelerate beyond. Any other suggestions?

if its me... i would take the volvo... reliability shouldnt be a problem. i mean i still see those super old 20+yo box volvos around every once in a while

 

but the FC probably would be fantastic as the car is very very heavy. even at 197bhp. the pickup might still suffer. but once at cruising speed shouldnt sweat at all. the 300bhp i guess no sweat at all.

Old volvos last forever. Reviews are mixed for the new ones. Some swear by it, others swear at it. I am thinking is it worth it to pay another $20k for the T6 with an extra 100hp.

well... if another 20k + higher roadtax and possibly insurance + higher maintenance can justify and not put anything more than a dent in the wallet why not? same platform different power output = more spirited drive = more fun

 

i would do it! :D

 

make the right call and enjoy most importantly do not regret! [laugh]

I've done that already. Now you make me gian gian :~

 

Btw, the older S80 is 2.5T, different from the new Ecoboost 2.0t. The new engine is significantly better (more power, less consumption)

hehe...never tot I'll be looking at one but the new ones are quite okay. I prefer the new Passat square face than the old one so that one is kindof 50/50. But the T6 seems like an interesting opportunity to own a top range WoWo.

 

Skyline is the base. I am just exploring what else is available if I raise the bar slightly to more slightly. ^_^

WoWo S80 T6 is the best choice if you want to barrel down NSHW with effortless power.

 

300 Bhp/ 400Nm is more than enough even with 4 pax on board... [drivingcar]
