Sturg1647545502 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I speak Alex: he means, of the ones listed, he would take the Volvo not "take it off the list". I would concur, I like my wife's C70 T 5 far more than I want to admit. AH thanks, i needed the translation. 335i X-drive? 30mpg, bolts on to 350+ awhp for ~$500. I've heard of it but have no personal experience with any awd beemer. anyone on here have one? I feel like compared to the saab or even the volvo they're less car for the money. but the 350hp is attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhatch Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've owned my fair share of awd daily drivers and I have to say I'm enjoying the Evo. The Audi had great interior, excellent in the snow and great mpg. The sti I had was far less superior. It was a fun ride but I found it uncomfortable on longer commutes and tended to be rear drive happy in the snow. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be moving to CO with this car, so it has to perform in snow. After owning both can you tell me why you favor the evo over the sti as a DD?

Jewtoys Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I heart my evolution I see you have a X, completely different ride than a 8-9 Test drive a 9-2x you will probably end up buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my already favored stance towards wrx's, you're probably right. I was looking up some videos of guys doing sti swaps into a linear (not that it matters) 9-2x. It looked like a lot or work for not that much of a gain. 100? Bolt ons and a tune would get that 9-2x Aero in the 250s-275 while maintaining its reliability.

My friend has had one since like 40k miles and drives it pretty hard and at over 100k miles it hasn't had one single issue. The S60R are nice to look at but that's about it..

AWW$HEEET Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 not to stray off topic, but i am not sure i classify ohio as a place that you really need an awd vehicle as a DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you and agree for the most part. Aside from the STI this will me my first awd car, and 1st awd DD. I'm moving to CO eventually and will be taking this car with. Personal preference.

Not Brian Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 That silver volvo won't last a week at that price/mileage. But yeah even with 300hp they run mid 14's in the quarter mile. They're porky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
