My dad is plannig to trade car, i'll keep the nissan primera for me and he will buy another.

We are seeying some cars like Mercedes C220 cdi Station, Renault Laguna II 1.9 dci, VW Passat 1.9 tdi. All diesel engines for now.

We have seen a Volvo V40 T4. What do you think about this?

Isnt it the V40 T5? It still needs to grow on me. Looks like a S60 with a body kit or something...

The new one is the V50, i'm talking about the other after V50 that is the V40.

V40 is T4 has 200hp. T5 is for the 850, S60 and S80. I don't know if V50 is T5 too =\

There's a 2.0T (with a low pressure turbo) and a T4. T4s are quite rare. Volvo never sold much, so they're relatively unknown. That's why I think a V40 T4 is a nice stealth car. You'd be able to surprise lots of other drivers.

I think the V40 T4 is a much more attractive car than the others you mentioned. It's petrol and has far more power than the rest. My dad had an early S40 2.0 and it was a nice car to drive and very very reliable. Until it committed suicide, that is.
