Talk to Me: V50 D5 Autos

[HorneyMX5]

Hi All,

I'm considering moving my Civic TypeR on later this year as much as I love it I have a nagging feeling that doing 25K a year I should be in something more sensible as a daily. The V50 is a car whose looks I really like, it's in budget and the D5 sounds like a good engine. I will likely tow a race car with it every now and again so I'm thinking an auto so I don't have any clutch worries.

Here is an example of what I'm thinking of: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-V50-2-4-D5-SE-Spor...

So volvo owners, school me. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Cheers for the feedback so far.

What's wrong with the box?
