VOLVO S60 T5 or D5 FOR 6k?

Can't cope on the others.
You learn to live with the turning circle. It's rarely that much of a pain. You do end up reversing spaces more often. Realistically on a journey, how often do you use full lock?
I'm not sure where crashy come from either. I live in the country (until tomorrow!) and the roads round here are built on rafts laid on moorland. The roads move, a lot. Car is a lot more firm than the Saab 9-5 that it replaced.

I honestly don't think the turning circle is an issue myself either
as for the "crashy" ride.....I've no idea where you get that idea from, the ride in my S60 D5 is superb on all road services
have you read many reviews?
or driven both of the cars for yourself at all?
if not it might be a start!
hi guys
just to add my pennys worth - ive just come from owning an st220 52 plate to now driving a 04 s60 d5 manual facelift with eu3 engine and im not missing the st220 much (probably because im poor now through maintaining it)
through 2nd gear and above the d5 feels quicker and its stock 163, plenty of power - fantastic drive and sounds good too for a derv - obviously never as good as the v6 soundtrack.
overall much recommended car, ive bought it at 55k , 2 weeks old and its ok 56k and so far so good, i just need to figure out now if the cambelt has been done and if not foot the bill for a new one!
