Comment on Review: 2006 Volvo V50 T5 AWD by wb

I drove a T5 AWD and it reminded me of what cars used to be like, at least European ones with proper Euro shocks.

It’s unfair to compare this vehicle to anything from Japan. The ride quality is far superior in the Volvo. You can feel the road.

The T5 AWD has 17 inch wheels and 45’s on it. what is skinny about those?

Plus, this vehicle was designed to traverse frozen gravel roads at high speed in Sweden.

I would put Vreedstein tires on it in the winter anyway. Store the low profile tires away until they are safe to use again in warm weather.
The v50 t5 AWD so impressed me that I bought one with a 6 speed.

I have an 02 Civic and I alos had the same feeling when I cornered and I punched it, and I almost went into a creek, but luckily I jerked it back onto the road and I almost hit a parked car doing the same thing… that bad thing I guess for the civic

Thanks for the review. I am considering buying one of these, but after reading about how it doesn’t handle well at high speeds, I will definnitely be cautious. I will have to test drive it and see how it feels.

What wasn’t said was Dr. Betz was pissed at the guys babysitting the test mule. He wanted all the mud and bugs still on the car from testing around the world to be seen by the clientele. Instead they washed it. Now it was only seen as another shiney show car at Pebble.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR CROSSFIRE CONVERTIBLE. I`M 6`2″ AND CAN ADJUST MY SEAT TO BE CONFORTABLE. WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE CAR WHICH IS VERY NICE. WE USE IT AS A WEEK-END CAR AND ARE PLANNING TO MAKE A LOT OF TRIPS TO GALVESTON ISLAND FOR SEAFOOD AND FRESH AIR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE TO ANYONE WHO LIKES THE RIDE OF A COMFORTABLE SPORTS CAR WITH LOTS OF ZIP ON THE HIGHWAY! HAPPY CAMPER IN PORT ARTHUR..GARY T.

Here in Australia we’re not getting the Si, or any Civic coupe’s at all. However having just taken delivery of my new Civic Sport (our high end civic here in Aust) I have to totally aggree with the vision problems. Having replaced an Accord with this Civic my only major complaint is the fact that the Accord, despite it’s size, was easier to park. I’ll be taking my RX7 anywhere I go where I might be reverse parallel parking.

Other than that, however, the new Civic is a fantastic car. To put you in the picture, the Sport here in Australia has the 2lt K20 engine much like the Si, however it’s been detuned to 114kw leaving more low end torque and eliminating the torque steer issues you mentioned above. It unfortunately misses out on the 6spd manual and gets a 5spd instead. Other than that it’s a 4 door sedan with leather trim, a sunroof, 16″ alloys with 205×55mm tyres and an unusually fast electronically assisted steering rack.

With it’s engine tuned for low RPM torque it makes for a great small sports sedan that is comfortable cruising on freeways and highways, fun in the twisty bits yet composed and self assured around the city. I just wish Honda had used the 6spd gearbox found mated to the K20 in the Integra Type S (equivalent of the American Acura RSX).

Nice review. I’m based in the UK. Thought you might be interested in the European Civic which seems to be quite a different beast:
