Volvo 740 Estate
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good secondhand buy - solidly built to last.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Thirsty around town, but capable of high 30s mpg on a run.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    It's sheer bulk encourages a relaxed approach, no good rushing round corners!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Deceptively quick if floored! Surprisingly long accelerator pedal travel disguises abilities.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Did 100000 miles and only had to replace the coil.

    A bit 'green welly brigade'.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Like travelling in your favourite armchair.

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No clever alarms or locks.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Main dealers always smile when they take your money!
