New or Used??? V70-XC70

Hills won't do much to slow down a T5 (I have a 98 T5). In addition,
with a turbo, the car maintains most of its power even at altitude.
If that hill is at 7000 feet, the Taurus would not even be close.

The 97 (and later) GLT models have a low pressure turbo engine and it
also performs very well.

You should also see better fuel economy with the Volvo 5 cylinder and
there is plenty of room under the hood for working on it if you are a
do-it-yourselfer.
