Angcheek Hypersonic August 10, 2014 Author Share August 10, 2014 The new T5 drive e? yes . FC also not that bad for that kind of hp even you give it 20% discount from the stated figures 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedlhw 5th Gear August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 Been driving a S60T5 for the past 3 years.. the power and acceleration is good, so far reliability good too. Fuel consumption is 7.5-8km/l. This drive-e seems to have 5 hp more, thats about it. Frankly i would be very doubtful about good fuel consumption. Volvo has never been known for that anyway.. Out of curiosity, how much izzit now anyway? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleuzone 1st Gear August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 Yes, the promo price is for the diesel version, demo/test car, and also the older model not the new 8-spd gearbox. I thought they way they did their ad was very misleading... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex976 5th Gear August 10, 2014 Share August 10, 2014 Yes, the promo price is for the diesel version, demo/test car, and also the older model not the new 8-spd gearbox. I thought they way they did their ad was very misleading... Volvo ads are very misleading. I saw the ad for the infamous V40 D2 going for 119k in may, called up and was told its for event cars. If want new car, the price is 129k. Volvo advertised price must call in and ask what are the T&C for that price. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knoobie Supercharged August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 (edited) woah ~ 8 spd GB? that is one hell of many gears... anyway.. since when advertising are meant to be honest..

T&C applies = what you see is never what you get. To get what you see, pay more!! W*** is not know to be selling used cars. So when they advertise a car, would you expect it to be used? not me. It is different when their T&C refer to having to take their loans, a certain percentage, a certain insurance company or % of loan. "Used" should be something else. When BMW were selling their airshow cars etc, they specifically mentioned it. I like that honesty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is with these marketing gimmicks nowadays, one just can't take advertisement as it is. Like many people say before, if it sounds too good to be true, probably it is. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
