Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A lot of car for the money and very well built.
Costs
Ok so far.
-
On the road
Driving
Very poor ride - the badly maintained roads really show up the shortcomings of the poor suspension setup. Handles fairly well though.
Performance
Not bad, but even this relatively low-powered (122bhp) engine struggles to put the power down on uneven roads.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems in six months of ownership.
Image
I still think it's one of the most attractive Volvos.
Comfort
Supposedly legendary Volvo comfort has passed me by.

Security and Service
Security
Seems well equipped, but thankfully never tested.

The supplying dealer, Evans Halshaw at Barkingside, was excellent.
