Living with the Volvo TDi is a pleasure; there you are travelling in comfort with up to seven of you if you have the rear child seat option and your doing 40 plus mpg while travelling with the whole family at well above the UK legal limit.
Owning one of these will constantly leave smiles on your face, help move the office, family, friends etc etc the back with the seats down will take two five drawer filing cabinets plus the trolley to move them around with, yep you can even take the mother in law! Well down to the tip, its great for all that garden rubbish and boxes that everyone seems to accumulate.
Add to all this a car that is comfortable, safe and built with Volvo rugged reliability and this could be the last car you buy because they are also renown for going around the clock mileage wise!
Servicing is every 10,000 miles and isn’t cheap but then its expensive keeping the ark royal going and you’ll soon think that with all this versatility you have your own private aircraft carrier!
Handling for a car is fantastic with little body-roll or sway and when you consider this is an estate it’s superb. Many of the first time passengers will never believe this is a diesel because this is a diesel with attitude it goes! Top speed is an easily achieved 120+ yet all these time your driving around with a car that’s doing 40mpg whew!
Volvo service is excellent with helpful and courteous dealers so owning this bus isn’t unpleasant. What to look for? Well as low as mileage as possible, after all you want the benefit not the previous driver. Plus a Volvo service history with no gaps! Get one of these and you can travel the world in comfort while not spending a lot on money!
Comforts such as radio cassette plus CD are all options, Air conditioning is very nice, electric sun roof, mirrors and windows are all options so get one with everything fitted and live long and prosper.
Advantages: VW reliability and performance Disadvantages: If you use the performance, fuel comsumption
is awesome and many a GTI , hot hatch has wondered what?s that got under the bonnet. Top speed? Well over the UK legal limit and in Germany she was still going strong at 145mph,
Reliability?? She has had some little niggles, the geartronic box will not let you take the key out of the ignition if the lever is not in park and the button out!! Yes my button would stick, so that wasn?t good and the turbo solenoid gave up the ghost shortly after the Upsolute conversion?
Other than that she is comfortable stable and has a varied thirst, drive her at 40 ?50 gently and see easily over 40mpg use the power and awesome speed all the time and you will be lucky to get 30mpg; but then that?s life.
She replaced an aging 850TDI estate and I have to say shadow is not a Volvo, the quality of build is not there nor is the ease with which in ...
