About my Volvo. I only owned it for a short while, but it left quite an impression on me. My wife and I are about to add another kiddo and subtract one income, so the Suburban might need to be re evaluated. We sold our travel trailer months ago so I don’t really need a tow pig as much any more, the biggest remodel projects on our house are some, and I’ve been getting away with a higher gas budget because the Mrs has had a company car with deeply discounted gas. That’s about to come to an end, and I’m considering selling the big beast.
To replace it, I'm really thinking of a P1 or P2 V70. Preferably a T5 manual, but I'd accept another 2.5 T. Were these available with a T5, manual and AWD besides the R?

Sadly, all the T5s were FWD but it’s a really good chassis. Good luck finding a manual especially for anything close to a reasonable price. I long for my black T5 in particular daily.

Hmm. Nothing on Craigslist or swedespeed that I’m seeing .
Too bad the P1 R wagons are automatic only

I’ve been poking around and there are a couple P1s... A bit pricey and not the nicest, but I like a spruce up project. I'd likely offer significantly less than their asking prices.

I loved the feel of the one I had. It was a great combination of comfort and handling. I'm perfectly okay with FWD, I was just curious about the AWD.

You can get a P1 T5 Manual AWD. The R Design P1 is just a cosmetics package. Or you can get P2 T5 manual FWD or an R with a stick and AWD. The P2 T5 Manual is a rare car.
