Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
second hand you can buy a lot of car for not a lot of money. My car came fully loaded with every possible extra that was available when new. £1,300 and its a dream.
Costs
Volvo parts are pretty expensive but thankfully pattern parts are available.

On the road
Driving
Not the best handling car but its a Volvo and is fairly hefty. a great cruiser on the motorway & a roads. Through tight and twisty roads it will perform. not as easy to throw around like some others but it still performs.
Performance
2.0l engine pulls well and fuel economy is not ible and your fine.

Living with it
Reliability
Never failed. As long as you service regular and be sensible driving it will go on and on.
Image
Not the same image as the BMW's. some my say its an old persons car. I'm 24 and I love the Volvos. Once you own/drive one you will understand the qualities they have. I would find it hard to get something to match the feeling of safety & feel this car has
Comfort
Volvo are known for having good seating positions for comfort & safety. I have back problems from an accident a few years back. after long journeys I get no problems.
