The V70 T5 has been my first experience of owning and running a Volvo and to-date I've been delighted with my decision. The Volvo T5 manages to combine sports performance, family practicality and excellant safety features in one fantastically valued package. The handling and performance are superb making both long motorway or short school run journeys effortless and a real pleasure. The load space is tremendous, this has meant that as a family of five (including baby) we have never been defeated when packing for a long holiday or short weekend. The chaps at my local dealership where I have the car serviced are excellent and although a little expensive I always manage to receive a complementary curtoursey car for the day and my car returns valeted. So far my T5 and I have enjoyed 90,000 trouble free miles together and as you have gathered from my praise the expereince has been extremly enjoyable, so much so I have my second T5 on order. Oh and you may be wondering about the beast, well expereincing is beleiving so I'll spare you the words and suggest that you go-ahead and arrange a test drive (but do watch out for those gatsos).
