Hence picking you guys brains as nothing beats ownership to form an opinion.,

If you’re looking on AutoTrader, click on the advert of the car you want to have a look at & then just underneath you’ll see “Specification”, click that & then click on “Performance”. Then you’ll be able to see the number of cylinders the car has. If its a 4 cylinder, that’s the newer VEA engine (four cylinder). The true 5 cylinder ones will say 5 cylinder under “performance”.
Another way to tell is the four cylinder cars are 2.0 litre. The five cylinder are 2.4 litre.
My opinion would be get a five cylinder version. They would be more expensive on fuel & dearer to tax than a four cylinder, but the five cylinder is a proven fantastic engine.
I’m not saying the four cylinder ones aren’t good, but there’s plenty of issues with regards to oil consumption on other models with the same four cylinder engines. Volvo done recalls on these.
