I tow a 1500KG tourer and like to drive to Austria in winter. Thinking of a change and with the climate move away from diesel am looking at petrol. Have also "fallen" across the v90cc T5 and boy what a lot of kit you get and the prices for a 3 year old are practically 50% making them incredibly good value. Shame they don't make the XC70 any more.
So am interested in what made you veer away from the v90CC?

I veered away from the V90CC T5 really through meanness and a puritanical voice in my head telling me that spending £22-23k on a car is just plain daft when a £15/16k XC60 will do everything I want, and more. I'd prefer petrol but up until 2 years ago petrol cars were really the preserve of Japanese manufacturers, so I'm looking at diesel. The only petrol XC60s seem to be Japanese imports with the Ford Powershift chocolate autobox, which I don't want.
Sotosound:
An XC70 would fit the bill admirably (I've had 5 V70s so like the cars) but they are much rarer and tend to command higher prices.
