Will come w/ leather, moonroof, Geartronic 5 speed auto, and other goodies. I get it for 3 years or 50k miles. Then might consider buying it off lease. I like the looks and the handling and ride are pretty nice. Since it is a factory turbo 5 cylinder, a manual boost controller is an easy way to add some grunt. Will be fun on my 2 and 3 hour highway drives. So I sit and wait til Nov. Anyone else done turbo Volvo's? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>BlackNGold</b> <br /><small>Member # 655</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,15,19,10,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Jim, check out some Euro sites for "mod's" on the Ford Focus ST220, I'm pretty sure it shares the same Volvo 2.5 turbo....<br /><br /><a href="http://tunedx.com/?switch=c3BlY3MucGhwP21vZGVsPXMyMDQx" target="_blank">http://tunedx.com/?switch=c3BlY3MucGhwP21vZGVsPXMyMDQx</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FasterDamnit</b> <br /><small>Member # 442</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,15,19,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Will do, thanks!<br /><br />Any mods will have to be easily reversed.
