S40 T4 2003 specs S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be alvin from South Africa on  Thu Aug 7 02:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi
I am from South Africa where we have many dealerships here. Volvo is taking off. I have had a 2001 S40 T4 and I was thoroughly satisfied with it. I traded it in at 54000km and bought my new T4. The new spec has a "cheaper" looking grill, a less well set out dashboard, come with TELESTO rims that are no as good looking as the first car. But worst of all, the ride is much stiffer so that one feels all the bumps, and also the car has a reported top speed of 245 KMPH, but my speedo only goes up to 240 (the old car went up to 260).

The Volvo factory in south africa could not answer my question reagarding the last point . Can anyone help me? ( I actually bought a beautiful set of PITSTYLE 16inch rims and YOKOHAMA tyres , and got peanuts for the brand new ones that were on the car .
