Just agreed to purchase a V50 D5 today.
Liked the blend of decent performance, practicality and comfort. It may even be economical if I can leave off the gas a bit!
Will see what the first few days bring - pick up next week. Looking forward to seeing what its like to live with.

What's the torque figure on the manual D5 (v50)? I read the Geartronic is limited to 350Nm and the Volvo brochure states 350Nm for the manual too, but Polestar and Wiki (as well as various tuner websites) both state 400Nm for the manual box and 350Nm for the auto.

Which is correct?
