I have had my 440 glt injection for over a year now. This car is one of the very few second hand cars that offer real value for money. Mine is 10 years old and was purchased through an auction. The car has real class for a hatchback. It offers the renault engine (1700cc) which is VERY spritely. 5 speed gearbox which even after 10 years and 110,000 miles is as smooth as ever. Electric windows and sunroof all fitted as standard. It offers a lot of comfort for a smallish car. Boot space is excellent. Good mpg is also a consideration these days and the volvo won't let you down there either. Even the insurance is reasonable for a 1.7 injection. Compare it to an xr3i (insurance wise) and the difference is astounding. Yet on performance there is very little difference. Volvo's have acquired the reputation of being an old man's car but this is just not true. Try the 440 glt and I feel you will be pleasantly surprised. I was. Average auction price £450-700 Average private sale £600-1200 Average dealer price £800+
