I may be being blind but I don't see it saying FSH anywhere and I'd be wary without. Having said that, mine came with no history on 155,000 and it is as smooth as you like! Get an older, boxier one though

I was looking at them a while ago but volvo engines seem to be shocking.
Really? How so? Everyone for sale is on moon miles like mine and it's absolutely faultless! MPG is horrendous if you gun it everywhere But with normal driving (commuting with some A roads and towns) I'm getting 30 odd mpg. Nail it and the instant consumption will tell you 11mpg in 5th

2.3t, 250bhp, 6.5 - 60, clarkson say's it will overtake a lorry quicker than a 911 turbo.
Eck I just mean the MPG, I love them apart from that, just always read that the mpg is worse than the equivalents.

How do people react to your T5 Eck?
Are they like "urggggghhh grandad car"
Do you think non petrol heads perceive them as slow grandad wagons? Ie do you get nob jockeys tailgating you in poverty spec 120d`s on the motorway?
If the answer is yes then I want one

Ah, mis read what you meant! Aye it's not great if you really give it some welly, but if you're trundeling along it's actually not too bad. A damn sight better than a lad at works Focus ST and quicker

Oh yes People look over and laugh at a young person driving such a motor! The boy at my work who has a B18 CRX (should be about 190bhp) burst out laughing when I told him what I had bought. He wasn't laughing when he went for it behind me and wasn't gaining an inch

The one I mentioned, 9-5 Aero HOT.
The older (pre 2001 iirc) 9-5 Aero's are 230bhp but exactly the same stats.
