Police spec = basic model and updated electrics.

No tweets or upgrades.

According to Volvo's advertising material all their emergency services spec vehicles include uprated brakes, shock absorbers, antiroll bars, suspension and a larger fuel tank in addition to improved electrics.
Are they lying?

Skoda Octavia VRS.

Less horses than requested but as an owner of an Octavia vRS estate I would definitely say give one a test drive before discounting. I've got the older model, the new version is up to 220bhp. Lots of toys, decent reliability and a big chunk of change from £30k

Wrong. They are well spec'd.

Wiring and brackets for the extra lights etc so no need to drill a ton of holes.

Jag XFR-S sportbrake. Great if you can find one.

V70 T5's had extra bhp. Not sure if they turned the 3.0's up though but still pretty nippy.

I didn't mention the M5 cos it looks gross.

I like fast, but plain looking and a 550i would be just that

Bloody amazing if you can find one for less than £30,000

Only 200bhp though. My caravan prefers the Volvo

Will petrol prices drop low enough though?

There is a 260bhp, 3.2 ltr V6 version but can't find any for sale. I have the saloon and it's an ace fully loaded motor :A

All far too sensible suggestions. What you really want is this:

321bhp
0-60 6.6s
162mph
£27k
'Interesting' depreciation...
