bad things about the m46?!? 700

Whose spreading such nasty rumors. Hey, my m46 + od (1985 745t) lasted 204k and 17 years! They rock, and are actuallly described by moist volvo mechanics as "virtually indestructible". It's the crappy German (?) Z that zucks.

Back to bubba:
I'd agree to tell you to get a manual if you can drive one and like the control it gives you over shift points, etc. However, I should ALSO note that manuals are hard to find. Most of the 700s sold in the US were automatics (AW70, AW71), and the folks that have the manuals tend to be the folks that drive till the car rots. IDEALLY, you will find a 744t or 745t manual. The latter is the car I drive, and I am a big fan. I got my 745t from my father (original owner), and he had to wait for a manual to arrive at his dealer from Sweden.
