What does this car say about you?

I bought it for my Weimaraner, she loves it. Everyone thinks I paid a lot more for it than I did. It looks classy and I feel safe, not really bothered what people think.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I want the XC70 or a T5, but not moving from Volvo now. I'm sold! Just feels like I could drive through a house with it.

What are you likely to buy next?

Volvo, no question.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£900

When did you buy the car?

January 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Knocked him down and down but got a real bargain. Was worried I was not going to make it home. But car has been faultless.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very quick off the line, quiet and smooth. Previous car was a Jaguar XJ8 and this more comfortable and just as quiet. Brakes excellent too.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, it's only fault is the awful lock. Can make you look like you can't drive when you have to go back and have another go at getting round something in a tight car park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing, faultless. Everything works.

What's most practical about your car?

Spacious, comfortable and practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Stereo is amazing. Makes even my home system sound bad.
