    I can definitely confirm that the 2.5ltr volvo engine is shite on fuel but it makes such a good noise. Got a full custom 3" turbo back on my Volvo V70R but with the volvo build quality and sound deadening it doesn't drone and is easy to live with, my neighbours may say different though 😂😂

    its so good looking. my dad has one in pristine condition. he keeps it in his garage. hes had since 2009 and it only has 10k miles on it. and its held its value very well, and the sound of that 2.5l 5 cylinder engine, is to die for

I took the Mrs, 12 yr old twin daughters, 10 yr old step-son, and 5 yr old daughter to Disneyland Paris this time last year for a few days over the New Years from Formby and back in my LR Disco Sport doing c1500 miles with a couple of detours. Faultless drive (believe it or not for a Land Rover) but I'd have taken the RS exhaust sound over 4 kids in the car any day of the week :D

    As someone else has said mate I’d be confident it’s the boost solenoid, I need to replace mine on my mk2 ST as I don’t have any proof it’s been changed before and I get the odd occasion in 4th gear where it drops boost for a second and then gives full boost again, some people change them quite often as it’s a high stress component, give that a go mate, they’re not too expensive either and should be easy for you with your mechanic knowledge now days 😉🤣

    Great video, love the road trips. Not sure about this time of year but if you go down to the Rhine from the city centre there are loads of places to sit out eat & drink. if you cross the bridge and go to the other side there is a massive fair on the other side and plenty of plces to sit in the sun and have a beer.I've been to Düsseldorf twice in the last two years on the bikes but go in the summer months, way better.
    Keep up the road trip videos.

    The 5 things I Love
    1. ENGINE - 2.5 5 Cylinder Turbocharged Engine
    2. POWER -The way the power is delivered to the front wheel drive
    3. LOOKS - The looks of the car, especially in real life
    4. RESIDUAL VALUE - How they hold their value
    5. FEEL - The feeling when driving it
    6. SPECIAL KITS - RECARO SEATS, THE BODYKIT (Big Wide Arches, Wings, Diffuser), THE OPENING OF THE FRONT BONET USING A KEY
    PS: I own one in ULTIMATE GREEN - in MALAYSIA

    The sound from both engine and exhaust is sweet and purrs beautiful. Nothing beats a petrol engine, sound or smell just pure bliss. Same with all my motorbikes, the smell, sound and everything about them
    Sorry u had a boost issue, but 100% behind you when you say cars have personalities. Each car have their own DNA
    I’ve had all Mks Focus just never RS. But I love how the drive and just feel safe and planted on the road.
    Top video and hope you can do another similar one, let us know if you fixed boost.

    Had a very similar boost issue with a mk2 MR2, would only run full boost on shell V power. Even on Momentum it wouldn’t give full power. Could be same thing, run a few tanks through it

      It did seem to gradually get better as the trip went on and the fuel got better…
      Boosted cars can be picky with fuel especially if it’s had a map at some point, how’s it been since??

    Interested to know the total miles done, and the fuel cost total and what mpg you managed, even though you were giving it a fair bit of / plenty of welly. Also, what was your total cost of those Hotels you were in. ( They looked very nice .) AMAZING, that you had a bell boy in all of them.. cushtee.
