Good Points
A big powerful good looking comfortable 'beast'. I am blown away by this car. Still volvo for me and I am only 32.
My wife loves it (but hates the badge). Volvo should change their name to Versage-Volvo. Just kidding!
Bad Points
My time clock has a mind of its own. My CD player jumps when I play copied discs, but only on bad roads.
Central locking opens after I have locked it sometimes, which could be a problem ,but my dash computer is telling me I need an alarm check so I reckon Volvo can fix that. The car is to fast for me (joke)!
General Comments
I've just upgraded from an S40 1.8 petrol SE 1998, which was a lovely car.
Now it isn't a lovely car, my S60 D5 SE auto, 02 plate is a lovely car.
Night and day, pure power, 38 mpg in town, I've had the trip meter reading 70 mpg plus on motorway, so comfortable, outstanding sound system. I've done my homework on parts: shop around to get them cheaper!. But my family experience in Volvo's is they don't break, so enjoy this car! I must be honest, descent tyres will cost you, but hey they are 17inch alloys!
