I'm surprised that its No Data Available, rather then not applicable.

No, the G60 was just supercharged, not turbo charged as well.

lot of car for the money. If you're not commuting, go for a modern petrol hot hatch. If you're thinking of adventures then a diesel tdi 2-2.5 litre is your boy
Nearly bought one of those V70 d5s, comfy as hell, lovely to drive, but crap turning circle. I could have lived with that, and the one I looked at was fully loaded, even had seven seats, but it was a 56 plate facelift model.
Looking further into it, the facelift ones that had 185bhp, 6 speed box, had major dpf issues. I wanted facelift spec, they did do these for about a year (54-05reg) but had the 163bhp, 5 speed non dpf (distinguished by chrome bumper trim but no door mirror indicators) but couldn't find one for love nor money. Earlier ones have fragile inter coolers and injectors can be a bit troublesome.

Avoid Mazda diesels for same dpf issues.

£100,000k and a pet race mechanic would make almost anything a bit naughty.

The 100k was used to make put right what was wrong with the cobbled together soviet tin can. I watched a program about them once, truly deadly cars.
