VOLVO V70 D5 2.5litre SE.2002model
This is a superb all round family car.Loads of boot space.Heat/air controls for rear seats.Plenty of cup holders/9v sockets for games/personal stereos etc.Sub woofer pleases the teenagers.Extremely comfortable on long journeys.Heated seats are a real treat in winter.Quick clearing of icy windscreen.Always starts first time.Loads of legroom.Very economical being deisel.Superb road handling/holding.Hot braking system-DSTC does its job well.Great acceleration,never a problem overtaking.Super safety features-loads of airbags-that work!Two family members were hit head on by drunk driver & they walked away from this car with minor bruises.
Will always buy Volvo from now on.
Width I've only found a problem down country lanes.Parking & 3 point turns can be a bit tedious as long wheelbase prevents slick turning in tight spaces.Seat belt is a little high if you're a bit vertically challenged.(I fitted a strap made for the job from car accessory shop).
