I must admit, Volvos are definately becoming more stylish, however, that isn't something I would buy.

Sorry

[Steve]

have to agree with the others... get an is250 as it is miles better looking

[Steve]

also i can fit my head in between the wheels and the arches.. its on stilts!

[WylieCoyote]

Hmm, have to disagree I'm afraid. S40 - I nearly bought one a couple of years ago, they're great cars.

Get an IS250 if you like them or IS300 if you just want a newer car with a bit more umph.

If i were to get a Volvo id go for the new C30:

I bought a volvo S40 2.0D last month. Its so far been fantastic! Does drink quite abit when you give it some, bought it for long journeys and for the girlfriend to use when she passes her test. Not the quietest diesel around but is fast in a straight line. I say that, as it would be better in rear wheel drive, when powering away your not fully in control when turning, the understeer has caught me out a few times, but some serious tyres on it would probably prevent the tyres skipping on the road as much. The volvo has a great engine and plenty of room for me (6"5) though little room behind me. But If i had to choose one I would choose a lexus, front wheels steer, rear wheels drive to me thats a good set up.

always been a fan of volvo and have had a few T5s and the v70 2.5 diesal but to me the s40 has never been a real volvo ,it just lacks that volvo feel and is more like a vectra .thier is no choice here as the lexus is by far the best car to look at and to drive ,also the lex will hold its value better and turn more heads .

Guess its what ever you want. Any mid range volvo feels different to the bigger models that are very similar to Audi,VW, and the new vectra is a great car except stupid understeer and the badge. The S40 is closer to what ive been looking for to drive daily, big cars dont do it for me, ill leave them to my dad. havent had a Lexus long but its a very confident car and as everyone is saying stick with Jap.

More miles to the gallon!

thats a nice looking motor that audi R8 tango some rich git near me has a new one and always drives it like an old fart on a sunday morning drive.... :tsktsk:

[corsavandal]

Volvo's are getting more stylish...... just look at the Orange Focus ST.

Dont worry Jamie, was being sarcy. The C30 couldnt take my mod's

Spooky topic...I've been looking at a V50 for similar reasons. I'm a bit torn right now. My IS hasnt been reliable and I do more and more miles every year. I borrowed an IS250 auto and it was just sublime (cant say the same for the 220d which I borrowed which had an awful gearbox and a mirror that vibrated constantly...not what you'd expect from a lexus)...but if it's as thirsty as my current IS it will be a no-go

[Rikos]

If I was going to change then it would have to be an audi diesel. I woudl like a IS220 but not after all the things i've been reading.

If petrol didnt matter then it would have to be an RS4

[corsavandal]

It'd be a Seat Leon Diesel if i Left. Girl from work has one as swears by it. There's a JCT at the end of my road and There's one in there with a body kit on it that looks stunning.
