More News on the S40: Quote:
Claimed to be "all new" underneath the skin, the '04 iteration will, among other things, gain an optional pair of drive wheels and a couple of extra gearbox ratios at the top end of its specification. Thus equipped - sporting a six-speed manual transmission, all-wheel-drive, and 220hp 5-banger with the wick turned up on its turbo, the new model in T5 specification makes an altogether more compelling case for itself than its predecessor. That said, T5 or no, the S40 will remain down a cylinder and a bit short of grunt to several of its prime competitors (the Accord, for example, has a 240hp V6), but then again, most lack its available awd.
Lets see, 220hp Turbo IL5, AWD and 6-Speed Manual? I LIKE!!!
