Actually the wife is super interested in modding it, mostly cosmetic for now. Thing is, there are a few options (as I think I've mentioned) that we wanted but the car didn't come with. It's rather expensive to order and wait (time is long) to get the car in so we went with this one, knowing that I still get staff rate for parts, so we can always order some accessories though Volvo for it. We needed a car and lucked out with 95% of the things we wanted with a car on the lot.
The 2.4 is quite peppy, it's not a slow car by any means and I'd guess pretty close to the focus I had anyway. Again though, we were aiming at luxury, not speed. We were looking at a very long term vehicle with thoughts of buying a sporty one for 'fun' here and there in the next year or so also. So we'll have the Volvo for day to day things, holidays, etc and something else to play with later, looking into some older (late 60's) vehicles to purchase......
Can't wait, damn sad seeing the focus sitting in the garage here knowing it's gone tomorrow..... gotta get a few pics for sentimental value. I'll definitely miss the car......
