LOL. I'm pretty sure that can be arranged.
Although it would be the "lowly" 230HP version not the newer 250HP version. |
Even the 230 hp version is probably adequate, esp. with a stick. Isn't the Volvo heavier?
-quick trip to carpoint-
Actually (surprisingly) it isn't. The V70 T5 is a veritable lightweight in this class; Carpoint gives it as 3488 lbs, which is exceptional for a mid-size wagon (the much smaller M3 coupe is 3415). The manual transmission 9-5 Aero wagon is 3620.

Itersting. My parents have the XC and you know what that's like. We're leaning towards a slightly used MB E320 whenever it is that we are ready, but I always keep the V70T5 and V70R on my back pocket since they are cheaper.
