Summary
What does this car say about you?
Possibly old man, being a Volvo OR a guy who's got his head screwed on. Stylish looking, quick car thats often overlooked.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it, they still think its a posh motor, even a 10years old.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Once you've had one, you often wonder why these are overlooked so much. Only a lot of kids would make me sell it. Can be expensive to own, but there's lots of spare these days, so shouldnt be a problem really.
What are you likely to buy next?
Maybe something new or If petrol prices keep going up, maybe a push bike, and leave the Volvo for weekends only.
