I know that the regular models with non turbo motors are good cars but can the same be said about an all wheel drive turbo model with automatic transmission? I would tend to think that the awd and the turbod would put a lot of stress on the automatic transmission?

I got 5 questions for you guyz.

1.So are they any more problematic than the regular models?

2. What kind of gas mileage should I expect out of it?

3. Did they ever make the same car in a stickshift ???

4. Does thw AWD system take away some cargo spance in the back?

5. How much should a 98 model (auto turbo awd) with 155k miles be worth in good condition?

 

I have a 2004 AWD V70R turbo....Love that sucker...drive it like a bat out of hell. I get about 21 mpg..mostly straight non stop driving..a few lights...

I had problems.... mostly electrical ......whenI started taking it to the beach to walk my fat little dog...

 

I recently bought a 98 V70 XC AWD with 165k miles in good condition on eBay for $2800

 

I had a nice chat with my local indy yesterday on this topic! In a nutshell, he advised staying away from the early AWD models, particularly the 98 and 99.
