9-5 Aero vs V50 T5 AWD

Turbo petrols really aren't my area but I'd have the Volvo out of those two...

Re insurance - you're changing a crappy old Peugeot diesel for a high performance petrol cruiser....there is likely to be an increase. My insurance on the Focus is £270 this year btw. Got a refund to swap it from the slightly modded HDi last year.

Oh, and you won't get 40mpg out of either of them....you just wont.

Actually the insurance is the same, the issue isn't it getting more expensive, it's specialist insurers not being able to deal with a stock performance car. And you're talking to a man who got over 70MPG from a 306 HDi, you're clearly just shite at eco driving dude!

Why not go for diesel options? 

I have a diesel, I want a petrol. Simple as that! I can swap back if it's an issue, but I only do about 6k a year anyway.

Saab all day long!! But then I'm a lil biased as my family has had 3 of them haha and I agree with Toms306, you won't see 40mpg in the real world unless you only sit on the motorways

Again, I'm not expecting 40MPG average, just a possibility on a run to Cornwall that I'll get close.

Yeah 40 is not realistic from a 95 aero. Try 35 at very best!
Personally, I'd have the Saab but I'm biased lol

As above, and above that...

And yeah, I get what you see in them, they're awesome cars, and stupid cheap! The Volvo is lovely too, though.
