Apologies for yet another "versus" q, but...
I'm considering a '96 850 Turbo sedan ("platinum" limited version) and a '98 S70 T-5 to replace my '94 850 Turbo, which met its demise at 160K in a collision with a Ford Expedition.
I haven't gotten to test drive the T-5 yet, and was wondering preemptively:
- Is the S70 interior solid? Does the wood trim add anything or is it "cheap"?
- Does traction control really help either of the vehicles' handling in bad weather conditions? My '94 didn't have the TRACS option and wasn't great in the snow. Not a big deal though.
- Is the slight additional power (14 hp?) and torque noticeable in the T-5?
The S70 has 18K more miles and costs $2K more. Decisions, decisions!
Thanks for any input.
