Volvo V70 2.5 T 2007

Everything you expect from a Volvo, practical, safe and spacious but not exciting.

Volvo S60 2.4 D5 2007

Proof that Volvo can produce an attractive car. Excellent, reliable engines and solidly built.

Volvo V70 2.4D5 SE Sport 5dr 2007

I am very pleased that I chose this Estate. It has very comfortable and supportive seats, which my wife finds very comfortable as she has a bad back. It is a lovely car to drive and once you get used to there being no handbrake (you find yourself grabbing for it and finding thin air, which can be disconcerting at first) you soon get used to the fact it’s electronic. Very spacious and of course it’s a very safe car to be in. Very well designed all round.

Volvo V50 1.6D SE 5dr

Reliable, safe and pratical, as you’d expect from a Volvo. The V50 is a lot better looking than most Volvos and has some nice sporty details inside. Great to drive and handles perfectly. I’m extremely pleased with this car. I’m only giving it 4 out f 5 because there is a little more engine noise than I would like but I wouldn’t say it’s intrusive. Very good car.

A less common alternative to the Audi A3. Nice to drive.

Volvo S80

My Volvo has excellent handling, nice dashboard layout & comes with a good spec, but is quite bumpy & not really that well refined. Quite cheap to buy as a 2-3 year old car.

Volvo XC90 3.2 SE

The 7 seats makes this off-roader perfect form my extended family. Both the interior and the exterior are built to last and are built using quality materials. This a quality 4x4 and Volvo have got everything spot on. The steering column can be adjusted for comfort and the car offers a pleasant ride with the minimum of noise. The only reason I have not awarded the XC90 5 stars is due to the fuel economy which is not the best at arounf 20mpg.

Volvo XC70 2.4 DS SE Lux 5dr

I do some hefty motorway mileage both for work and personally so I wanted something I could do it in in real comfort and having 3 kids safety was paramount. This is a fabulous car and the safety spec is second to none. Very comfortable drive and massive amount of space. Excellent.

Volvo S40 1.6D SE

Good looker however not completely free from its faults The 1.6d would have not been my first choice however this was company car, and so the tax was considerably low for a car in its class. The 1.6d is quite refined an I am impressed by the engine management as Volvo seem to know how to get the best performance from a small diesel engine.. The main problem is that I don’t think Volvo planned the S40 1.6d to be a high miler. My car is a 56 plate, Nov 06, and it now as 27000 on the clock. There seems to be a issue with the intercooler as mine was replaced at 20000 miles. Maybe the turbo’s working overtime to get the best out of the 1.6d?. The annoying thing with this car is that, should the cars on board computer detect the slightest fault, this will take over and limit the cars performance. Should this occur the car would only do a maximum of 60mph on a flat road, reducing to about 30-40mph even on a slight incline and is not ideal when away on business! This happened 3 times until Volvo finally replaced the intercooler. The air con has also stopped working which, has been addressed by Volvo however, 3 visit to the garage later the air cons still not working! My colleges have also had issues with the 2ltr petrol, as they seem to cut out and having said this, one of my college had the contract ended early as he claimed the cars was not fit for purpose due to on going problems with the loss of power. Overall, I wouldn’t really suggest the s40 as a fleet car however, problems do happen and having driven the S40 2.4i SE, this is the model I would recommend however, only for low mileage users!
