Hey, guys, 240 question, this is weird

Post by nichwan »

Hihi!!!
I was looking at the drive website!!! (it's an aussie one), and i was looking at a volvo from 1989.
It says (the website, not the person selling the car) that the 4A (4 spd autos) have 129hp, while the 5M(5 spd Manuals) have 114 hp... I was wondering...
If it is the drive people with a mistake, or did volvo release their autos with more power in the engine than their manuals.?
In addition, another question which has been bothering me, why did volvo get rid of the B230E high compression engine, was there something seriously wrong with it? or was it just a petrol efficiency issue which made volvo bring in the B230F to replace the B230E?
Thanks for your time guys, please answer my questions, it would be very helpful, as i'm currently deciding what car to buy next...
Thanks again in advance.
From Nic
