Economy
Value
5 years old, 23k miles and Volvo FSH, all for under £10k - great value.
Costs
Nothing goes wrong, but tyres are expensive and it averages 28mpg.

On the road
Driving
Safe and foolproof.
Performance
Goes faster than you think. You'll find yourself with GATCO tickets!

Reliability
Oil, plugs and filters only.

The older they get, the more street cred they have.
Comfort
Great family confort.

Security and Service
Security
Who has ever heard of a nicked Volvo? (except T5).
Service
Volvo garages rip you off and just want your money, not your problems. Find a good non-franchise mechanic or a good farm mechanic!
