  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb design and build quality for a similar new price as a Mondeo or Vectra, but compare residual values.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Day to day costs are comparable with other cars of this class. Too early to comment upon the notorious Volvo servicing and parts costs.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fabulously comfortable and supportive seats combined with tall gearing and very low noise levels make this an extremely refined motorway mile-eater. Cabin ergonomics are superb.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not a dragster, but smooth torquey engine provides plenty of performance for rapid real world A to B transport.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0
