Apart from the redhead fetish. No, not British at all.

I am confuzzled again.

Base/standard Euro comes with fullsize 17inch alloy wheel. Only the lux model doesn't come with the full size spare.

That doesn't make any sense lol.
You would expect the lux model to come with a full size spare. (this applies to CU2 only right? bcuz i got a full 17" allow spare on my CL9)

Also
"Dude, I wish I was knee deep in some Britney Spears badge right about now." from urban dictionary.. lol a bit outdated there.

The reason the base Euro comes with a full sized alloy is that it fits in the boot.
The 18 inch would take up too much boot space.
I am thrilled to have a SPARE alloy,in case I scratch one of mine...

The base Euro is priced and specced very close to the Jetta 118 Comfortline,and they have similar equipment.

The base Euro looks fantastic,the base Jetta looks like a base model,with no chrome on the front or sides,no chrome exhausts,and basic interior,with single CD,no alarm,no dipping left hand door mirror...etc.

I am keen to check them out,but more the 147 TSI,which now has leather,but still no sunroof as standard.

Except the boot carpet would stick up a few centre-meters.

Drove to melb cbd yesterday and had some time to spare coz the traffic was good. Dropped by Volvo Melbourne to check out the all-new S60 T5 currently on $55,990 driveaway.

Quick facts : 2.0 I4 turbo / 177kw / 320nm / 6 spd "Geartronic" / 0-100: 7.5s

The T5 is the base model of the S60 range but it has features that easily rival Lux models of Japanese cars. I am comparing this to the Accord Euro Lux (RRP $43000). S60 misses out on the HID headlights and sunroof. However, the S60 counters with a long list of high tech safety features including a very cool radar-assisted safety system (a forward-looking sensor is mounted at the top of the windscreen). The 2.4iVTEC is no match for the 177kw T5. Lets not talk about its ancient 5-spd auto gearbox vs the 6 spd on the Volvo.

I didn't take it for a test drive as I can only stay for 15mins, but on static examination of the car alone.. it was very very good. The doors close solidly and the amount of force needed to shut the door is consistent with every door. (on the accord euro, the front door closes more easily than the rear. How I feel anyway). Sitting inside, you can't help but to admire the beauty and the quality thats built into every dial and knob..

Yes I understand I am comparing a $56k car vs a $43k. But the $56k is already driveaway and Volvo is giving away 5-yr/100km free servicing. This could cost up to $6k minimum, so the S60 T5 is really $50k driveaway.

I won't buy an S60 based on how it looks on the outside, but its good to note the market is getting more competitive than ever. Honda better be bringing out a 6-spd auto gearbox and seriously consider forced induction if they want to compete..

Knowing Honda at the moment..... They probably give us another 10 boring ass hybrids...
