We bought a '98 fire engine red V70 T-5 for my wife last year. It was a much better deal than a 9-5 wagon (which were only available used then, anyway). The car has serious turbo lag from 0 mph, but when those ~240 horses kick in, your neck snaps right back against the chair. On the other hand, the passing power on the freeway is immediate and oh-so-much fun. it would be much better with a stick, but good luck finding one -- they just don't exist (at least in California) In addition, the car is built like a tank, has really comfortable seats, and hauls a lot of stuff. It's a little boxy, but it looks a lot spicier with the 5-blade "fan" wheels, low profile tires, and glossy red paint.
