Replying to: qbrozen (May 27, 2008 8:13 am) I always thought Volvo's inline-5 was sort of boomy and loud--maybe the turbo version is quieter because it doesn't have to work as hard?

Replying to: corvette (May 27, 2008 9:48 am) For instance, my Accord's engine is quieter, sure, but it lets in so much road and wind noise, that the quiet engine really doesn't mean a helluva lot. Besides, I'm not adverse to hearing a sweet-sounding engine.  The G35 is actually pretty noisy. the engine growl is pretty noticeable, as is wind noise. But, overall, because it deadens the road noise well, it overall is quieter than the Accord. |

Replying to: lemmer (May 27, 2008 9:51 am) Although I am pondering maybe selling the Accord. I'm just not sure I can get any extra for it that would make it worth it. I gotta do a little research. Otherwise, I'm standing pat. I do have to get the Alfa past inspection, though.  And the pickup is due in September. yikes!

Replying to: qbrozen (May 27, 2008 8:13 am) W/O having driven either an S60R, or a G35x, & I do like (most) Volvos, this sounds like a good decision. For $18,800, with all the warranty, AWD (in NJ as I recall?), I can't imagine that you'd lose that much when selling....... Enjoy the car!
