No reason for this, other than I was thinking how many I could name. My list so far comprises of....

Fiat Coupe 20VT
Fiat Stilo of some variation I can't remember!
Audi Quattro and TTRS. Was there an Audi 100 with a 5 pot?
Volvo T5
VW Golf and Bora, can't remember the model designation.
Focus ST
Landies of some description
Alfa 159???? Really not on strong ground here, genuinely not sure.

I'm sure there's loads I don't know about, and some I can't remember. I've never had one either, it would be the Fiat Coupe for me out of that lot above.

Suspect this'll get moved to General Gassing shortly!

You've missed the Volvo D5s as well. Plus other 5 cylinder diesels & petrols not badged or displaced as a T5/D5.

I had a Fiat Marea 2.4 JTD from 2006-08. That was a 5 cylinder turbo-diesel, and drove really well actually. smile Same engine as some Alfas I think?

The Passat was a 2 litre. The Audi Quattro of the same era had a 2.2

There was the Santana as well, the saloon version of the Passat.

MPS was definitely 4 cylinder, 2.3litres.
Think it's more related to the last Focus RS then the MK2 with the Volvo 5 cylinder

Yeah it was a funny love triangle the Volvo/Ford/Mazda amalgamations.
