Surely a better package than Germans.

Drive carefully and you may not cross 30mpg and make it in teens if driving hard.

On the road
Driving
More sure footed than any German car on motorway but frustrating on ordinary roads.
Performance
More satisfying at lower speeds… doesn't impress much at higher speeds i.e. above 120… very slow from 140 onwards and barely crosses 150!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very good so far.
Image
Quite often steals the show… even though it's a Volvo.
Comfort
I prefer to drive it over Audi A6 and BMW 525 on long journeys… brilliant CD player with sound to challenge most of the after sale systems... Awful turning circle spoils the whole enjoyment.

Security and Service
Security
Had one incident… proved worthy.

Varies from dealer to dealer but generally they take very good care.
