2005 V70 T5 Can I order a Manual Tranny? V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Wed Jan 19 12:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

All,

In researching the 2005 V70 T5, it doesn't show an option for a manual transmission? What is going on here, did they drop this? I currently have a 2001 T5 Manual. (I Love it!). No manual, no Volvo. Hopefully somebody here knows more.

Regards,

John

    Nope, not available and you can't order it. The base is available with a five speed stick and the R is available with a six speed stick.

    I have to agree with BTC. Lots of horses, a 6 speed, and awd to handle any weather condition. I wouldn't trade my R for a T5, eventhough in 98 the power is just so-so.
    In Europe they couldn't give away automatics and in the US it is the reverse.

    Email my son at:

    ramseurvolvo@msn.com

    He can let you know and maybe give you a real good price too. Tell him you are from the brickboard and I suggested you email him.

    Try asking Yannis over at Swedespeed for details...

    According to Yannis, they still "can" be special-ordered with the 5-speed manual. Unfortunately, "special ordered" could take 8-12 weeks, which could mean forgoing whatever incentives Ford has going on at the moment. This, in turn, could bring a T5M up to near the same price as the 300HP V70R AWD 6-speed, with the incentives.

    In effect, you'd be paying more for less.

    I'm not convinced that Volvo has the R completely sorted out, although the '05s seem to be much better than the '04s. The "active" suspension and headlights still scare me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I have to do something since my '98 is starting to get long-in-the-tooth. I might just lease an R, rather than buy one!
