Volvo crew,

I have been talked into buying an S60 D5 but have almost given up after a couple of weeks of researching/hunting. It has to be an Auto and have full leather (so far, so good).

I'm not keen on the estate look so think it's got to be S60 or S80.

First I was told to only look for a later Euro 3 model (more reliable engine, less to go wrong).

However, more recently I have been reading that you should avoid getting the Euro 3 Auto as it isn't reliable enough and won't last.

What are people's experience of Euro 4 Autos?
D5 Auto reliability in general?
Is there anything to be aware of if looking for S80 or are the engines/model years the same for both?
