I would go for a later 200BHP car every time, smoother engine, more economical, more reliable. I believe it's essentially the same engine with minor tweaks.

Less problems known with the 200 D5 version it seams ? And regarding the current offer on the Forum: I saw it yet red is not my colour on any car (Except an old BMW Z3) and if I would buy a car the max size of wheels would be 18"like I had under my old XC90. Bigger is less comfortable and more risks of punctures and more expensive too so R-design does not really work for me

There aren't many UK spec cars around with the 3.2 normally aspirated. It was also fitted to the Land Rover Freelander 2 as well as V70/XC70.

Car itself sadly has no sunroof or Dynaudio either, probably difficult to retrofit ?

Other than that, I read somewhere that there was not much difference in terms of fuel consumption between the 2.5 T and the 3.2 and they should be equally reliable yet have not found much information about it on here. What I have learned is to stay far far away from the 2.9 T6 with G/T ? Recipe for disaster if I am to believe reviews ?

The 3.2 N/A engine will likely be more reliable than the 2.5T as turbochargers need control systems, vacuum valves etc. which are often the first things to give trouble on an older car. None of that on the 3.2

Hopefully others may be along that have successfully done this (or not) with some info.
