Well built, extremely reliable,vastly equiped and hugley powerful. That is everything about this great touring saloon. More than a rival to BMW's 5 series in every way. Very economical considering the 250bhp under the hood. In comparision to almost every other exec saloon, this car wins hands down, especially if you go for a second hand purchase the value for money is second to non. My second Volvo now and its fantastic. The spec inside is incredible, full leather, electronic memory movement and heated seats, dual climate control front and rear, cruise control, 4 disc Cd changer with steering mounted control, electronic trip and information center displays every little bit of info you require about your journey, from boot not closed to front headlamp failure or seatbelts not on. the list goes on and on. Performance wise this car will leave behind every hot hatch you can think of due to a 0-62mph time of 6.1 seconds, all in a car with beautifully understated sleek line, and on to a restricted speed of 155mph. More incredibly with those figures you can easily return 35mpg on a long motorway jouney, in the pleasure of a luxurious and very quiet cabin.
