    So I sold the V40 1.8 Sport (2002) which had replaced the S40 1.6S (1999)
    and I bought a V50 1.8S with winter pack yesterday. I get it on 31 March -
    Friday.

    A mistake? What will it be like? What do you think?

    Did you not test drive one first?

    yes - but you can't tell much about a car from that. The important things
    are about reliability, irritating faults, quirks and so on. Few cars will
    show much wrong in a one hour test. It was very nice.

    Comfortable, responsive, nice to drive, well appointed, dissapointing
    build quality. Ours is 8 months old with ~ 30K Km and is already
    suffering from annoying interior rattles & buzzes.

    I had "annoying interior rattles and buzzes" in my '96 850 Turbo.

    It was an evil-handling pig, too: it wiped out and wrecked in a fairly
    modest sweeping curve taken at speed; the car's styling (and price)
    implied the quality and handling of a BMW, but delivered the experience
    of a Yugo.
