If your local guy is honest, ask him about a 5 cylinder turbo. Yes, all new machines are harder to maintain than a trusty 122, especially the electronics! But the T5 engine/turbo are extremely reliable and strong. What is weak is the AC, electronic modules, and the stupid OBDII which stores codes but won't let the average backyard mechanic read them. Thanks a lot, Volvo!
You will get used to the HP in the T5 and wonder why your 122 feels like it goes backwards when you step on its gas pedal :)
