I believe it will be available in T5 spec with a manual.

You had mentioned the V50... just an FYI...unless you go for the T5 AWD, you are stuck with a 5spd manumatic transmission.

Manumatic is for poor people. 100% manual is balla.

Are Volvos pretty reliable? Good warranties? Insurance shouldn't be that bad since it's not a rice rocket.

Check JD Power for the V50's reliability...
The S40 has done fairly well.

Also keep in mind that the T5 AWD V50 is going to put you just over $30K MSRP. If you want factory nav, tack on another $2K+.

Getting awful close to G35 Sedan territory by that point. :hsdunno:

For brands like Yakima and Thule, yes they are. I know for Yakima racks, for gutterless roofs, you usually just need to change the clips that work with their "Q Towers".

Anyway, MS3 gets my vote.

If I didn't already have an S2K I would've gotten an MS3.
