The i5 got pushed out of production recently in the US, so its the T6(Twin turbo or twin charged) and that can be a i6 or a 4 pot the big problem is the are really pricey for parts and were not super reliable cause they were brought into the picture when ford still owned volvo. The Haldex system is supposed to be a 35/65 split on most of them but with remapping it with a controller it will drastically change how it will do for fuel economy and what not. 

actually since 2016 ... volvo makes only I3 and I4  

the T6 was twin turbo I6 , i do still prefer the T5 single turbo I5 cause of the sound

t6 in the polestar I think is now a i4 Super and turbo Charged which is good for over 400whp 
We have a t8 r design Polestar v90 at my work and it was rated at 470hp and like 500+tq and yes I had to rip it around my town

yeah it is a twin charged I4 most of the performence cars are super and turbo charged I4 

 

i think the T8 had like 440hp and 680nm of torque not 100% sure on that ... too lazy to google  

must be a monster to drive 

 

the days of the T4,T5,T6 that related the T for the performence turbo version and number for the cylinder count ... not power output  

and R being the better version of the T*insert number here* instead of a design pack 

[bcredeur97]

So my dad was complaining of front left brake noise. 

 

Stuck my phone through the wheel and took a pic. Going get it off at home for a better view tho

Rear shocks are a bitch on these.

Well now they have grade 8 galvanized bolts and lock nuts that I anti-seized. If there is a next time it will take 30 minutes.

[bcredeur97]

@vetali lol

 

his rear pads are TOAST. So much so that the caliper is visibly crooked on the rotor. The idiots who last worked on this thing left the wear sensor just hanging!!!! 

 

 

And of course no one has any of the big sport package pads in stock locally so we can't pick up a cheaper pie to "make do" until we can get some nicer pads (and rotors since the back side is super thin now -_-)

 

 

His calipers are literally the size of my head tho lol

Check for seized slides if its wearing uneven. 

 

Reviewers (mostly bad reviewers atm) are putting out civic si reviews. Theres no reason to get one. Honda gimped it to make the type r look appealing without any regard to equally priced cars like the focus ST.

Saab is actually fairly quick for stock. Out runs more cars than you'd think. And I'm going stage 3 next month.

Nah I'd say anything in the 13-14 second range isn't slow.

Eh depends. If it can't manage to get into the 14's stock then it's slow af stock. Compared to the colbalt LT the difference in power is so close all of 25 more hours about. It was the fact you called it slow af when it's only slightly slower then your car stock for stock. After upgrades though any car can be made fast it all depends on how big your wallet is.
