Hello everybody. Good forum here, glad I found you. I've done some searching through the archives, found some info both good and bad, and I'm still confused. I'm hoping some of you can help me out.

The wife and I have decided, we're definitely buying a V70 wagon. We're looking at the '99-'00 models, maybe an '01 if the price is right. What we're looking for is 1) turbo; 2)the "sport" package, but not necessarily AWD; and 3) leather heated seats.

Can someone tell me the general differences in the various model packages? i.e. What makes the R different from the GLT? Are all R's AWD? Are all R's and GLT's turbo? I've heard mention of low pressure and high pressure turbos, which models do those come on? Was the T5 available '99-'00 or only '01? What is the SE, is that the "base" model?

Thanks for any input,
Fred D.
