Advantages: speed and space Disadvantages: fuel consumption
I am also fond of Volvo,a brand which I trust most.Volvo always gives me impression of high security，straightforward and trusty.And I also regard the Volvo cars are welled designed to have a elegant apperance and comfortable inside room.Volvo V50 2.0DS 5dr Sortswagon has 6 speed manul gearbox and almost as fast as you want!It is no wonder that the sales of Volvo attain a peak in the US in 2003.There is no reason that it wouldn't be popular if you are a lover of speed .The fuel conseption of it might be a little larger compared to smaller cars but it is just OK to drive in the wild.I love driving cars to wildness,there is more beauty of the nature and with my cars sppeding up,I hawls loudly and chheers up,that is really wonderful experience for me.In a word,I think this car is a good choice for me and maybe for you too.So I think ...
Advantages: Smashing handling, outstanding build quality, very good performance/MPG Disadvantages: Insufficient front and rear storage pockets, offside blind spoy.
pillar (offside), not enough interior storage. Fairly minor when you balance against positives.
Servicing is expensive (dealer) but after free first check and 2 full services it's difficult to find any fault. After trying Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault and Citroen over the years I can now see why so many people opt for the Volvo range.
This review may appear to some to be too good to be true - I can only say it reflects the way I feel about the most expensive car I've owned - after 12 months of 'torture' at the hands of Peugeot and their dealers this car and its build quality is a joy. ...
Advantages: Extremely well built reliable and comfortable vehicle Disadvantages: Very low to the ground and can be thirsty on fuel
The VolvoS80 is the Volvo flagship and inherits the build quality and reliability that Volvo is renown for. The smooth six-cylinder engine is quiet and reliable but if pushed can be thirsty with less than 18 mpg. Its not a BMW 528 and so you cant throw the S80 around in the same manner; but on the other hand its built with so many safety features you are at least safe and extremely comfortable. Its capable of 145 mph where the plod turn a blind eye and at 100 mph your passengers will never guess your going that fast!
Volvo servicing is excellent and the agents tend to ?look? after you like no other dealers, but again don?t expect cheap prices this is a £30,000+ car and when it does need parts, they wont be cheap!
Comfort is the big thing with this car, the moment you sink into the leather interior and adjusting the seat ...
