Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I don't care what car I drive as long as it gets me to my destination- I value Longevity, reliability and economy
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it, everyone loves a road trip in albert as he is called- especially with the heated seats on in the winter!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yer, I think I will buy volvo's for a long time- but only when this one dies which I'm not sure it will!
What are you likely to buy next?
Same again I think, although an old beetle is calling me!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Be patient- acceleration is leisurely to say the least but will get you there in the end- it's a good motorway cruiser too! One thing though- everyone says it sounds like a bus when it pulls off!
What's it like to park?
Turning circle is great so no problems usually, although it does have a very long bonnet and big sticky out boot with towbar so is a bit of a beast
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope- It's got 170,000 miles on the clock and it just keeps on cruising. Oh, one thing- the exhaust fell off- but that's just wear and tear!
What's most practical about your car?
The size of it- it is a swedish tank, people move when you rock up!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
LPG conversion- makes running the beast bareable! Lekky windows, mirrors, and a sunroof are nice too for a banger!
