...this is a Volvo, and Volvo build quality is legendary with tales of 350,000 mile cars still running fine, and the Volvo owners club having several 500,000 milers still registered as running.

The boot space is quite big although being a saloon it has hard to access the full space with limited entry width.
With volvo's safety record insurance shouldn't be a big problem and the car comes with several airbas and impact protection bars.
On the whole a "nice" family car although nothing special. If petrol prices isn't a problem then definately go for the bigger engined models which also have more chance ...
