Re: Manual transmissions V70-XC70 2001

I can tell you this, I have the V70 T5 with the Geartronic (concession to the wife). I love the car , but if you think getting the Geartronic is the best of both worlds (manual and automatic) you will be dissapointed. I've driven 5-speeds all my life (current-Prelude VTECH) and pushing the lever back and forth in my Volvo to switch gears feels so disconnected I usually end up leaving it in auto mode. Maybe it takes some getting used to... I haven't given up yet.
