The power and handling of the Volvo V50 SE 2.0 D when new best car we have ever owned until -
computer gave various intermittent problems in early months, loss of power being the main problem. Then the clutch went, it was repalced under warranty, the next clutch went 3 months later and now that replacement seems to be slipping.......
The mechanic seemed to think it is our driving style and not a fault with the clutch, we have several cars and have been driving for more than 20 yrs and never had a clutch go on any car in our combined driving history, we do more than 15,000mls a year.

The after sales service In my opinion, once the warranty expired was awful.

I really liked this car, but now we want shot of it, just got to fork out another £1,000 or so getting a new clutch before we can sell it..!!!
