Default New S40 Questions

Hi all, I am looking at a new S4, 2.4i. I do not currently have a Volvo dealership in town and the nearest dealer is 2 hours away, so I am trying to gather opinions and have some questions about it.

- Is it worth the upgrade to step up to the T5?
- How is the T-Tec interior. I spoke to a salesman on the phone and he compared it to a neoprene wetsuit. How is it to keep clean, comfort, durability?
- How is the upgrade stereo?
- How is the reliability/dependability of the S40?
- The sports package, how much of a difference in suspension is it?


Currently have my eyes on a 2007 S40, auto with select package. MSRP 28.5K, they are offering 23.9K upfront. The T5s are on special this month at this dealership with 4500 off MSRP as well.

Thanks for any info provided...

EriC!

well it depends, if u are looking for a faster car then definetly go with the t5, its worth it... the suspension is a lot better and the turbo and increased engine size really make the difference, great freakin price too
