PRICE

We bought the car used at £7995, a bargain considering that brand new this particular model (the 1.8i) was over £17,000. Yet at seventeen k new, this is still around three k under the new price of a Mercedes Benz C ... ...compared with as saab and volvo are both sweedish firms.

Advantages: Useful extras like pull up booster seats, extra locking button for the children, strong car. Disadvantages: The lights stay on in the day. It's built like that. (safety purposes)
I've just purchased a Volvo S40 sport. Amazing car. Really strong body as I hit it into a ballard the other. I was surprised as it has little damage for the hard knock I gave it. Plus the other features include pull up booster seats in the back. You don't have to carry booster seats with you anymore. The other good function is the heaters they are really quick in warming up, and if you still feel cold the the heated seats will solve that problem ... ...the safety mechanism for kids in the back. Children can't open the back doors if you have the button pressed in the frontt. Some very useful gadgets. Also good on fuel. Recommended to buy this car. Just bought a 2003 model for £2100 one previous owner, 6 months tax, mot and also 116k on the clock. Please rate the review. ...
