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

Value
Looked at Audi, BMW, Mercs, bought the Volvo. Quality, spec status it doesn't pretend like some.
Costs
Fuel economy needs getting used to, after running a smaller car.

On the road
Driving
Good. Surprisingly good acceleration and cruises well.
Performance
Good acceleration and roadholding for an Estate (imagine if they built a hot hatch with V70 fingerprint).

Living with it
Reliability
Hmm! Got some niggles. Auto jerky, it's really spoiling what should be a very good car to drive.
Image
I'm the talk of the office, after insisting rear spoiler fitted (it really finishes off the look). Forget roof rails, unless really needed.
Comfort
Comfortable and safe. :-) You bet!

Security and Service
Security
Standard security is good and keeps most away. Leave wife in any car for ultimate protection against thieves.
Service
Car is good. Need to sort the dealer out!
