 DSK's recommendation | |
Smooth, fast and comfortable.
The turning circle is quite large, the coupe is also bigger than it looks so this all makes a difference when negotiating parking spaces and car parks. The chassis does roll a bit though but, suspension upgrades are widely available. Running costs are high!
Awesome yet effortless speed from the 240bhp T5 model. The Automatic gearbox works well and its a good match to the engine. Fantastic creature comforts and all the toys you'd typically expect to find on such a car. Smooth, fast and more comfortable than you'd imagine. Some models suffer from the EMT (electronic throttle module) issue. The repair cost at the moment is around £250 fully inclusive at Volvo dealerships.
I've found that Volvo dealerships owned by 'Stratstone' have higher service charges and experienced customer/service care at Stratstone Volvo as quite poor in general too.
