Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I recently changed my car from a BMW 320 161bhp ED saloon to a Volvo V60 181bhp. Firstly I'm very impressed with the style of the Volvo V60 , the interior looks good with everything i need even being a SE model with no SatNav. The drive is smooth and easy to relax on long journeys although the suspension is harder than the BMW ED. Boot space is not the largest but having 2 young children there seems plenty of space for us all. My biggest problem and most annoying subject is fuel economy.How on earth can a manufacturer claim an average mpg @ 72 but realistically its more like 45 mpg.I made a long journey in the BMW and as claimed I did get 68.9 mpg. A family member has a newer Volvo V60 190 bhp and still gets around 45mpg. this is ridiculous in my mind and fraud.I was expecting at least 60+ mpg . I've driven the car in the most careful way possible but still only get 46.5 mpg. So all in all great car to drive but don,t ever think you,ll be getting an economical vehicle.

How reliable do you find the car?

Due to owning the car for only a short period of time there's been no issues as expected

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I find the drive very smooth and relaxing .
