 ivan hackman's recommendation | |
Incredibly good torque & response, precise steering ,very good brakes. excellent economy if the temptation to use the vehicle`s performance is kept under control! (163 bhp engine.- the 185 is a bit thirstier I`m told).
Turning circle not as good as previous 850, 740 , & 240 models, but adequate when you get used to it - just don`t think of it as a volvo when manoeuvering.
An excellent long distance cruiser, cruise control and comfort combine to make long journeys a good experience- the D5 makes you forget that it is a diesel it is so quiet and refined, and the ability to travel over 600 miles before considering refuelling is a new experience for holiday touring! After owning three 240 models, one 740 and one 850, I am well acquainted with Volvo cars, this is my first diesel engined model. Strangely enough I find it better than any previously owned car when it comes to that indefinable "driving experience" - roll on my next trip around Scotland.
