“A good, practical and comfortable vehicle, with fine economy. There are niggles, though - namely a poor turning circle and excessive wind and tyre noise.”

“Fantastic combination of performance (it's the T5 version) and practicality.”

“Typical good Volvo build quality. My car has a tendency to steer itself only partly cured by fitting a different brand of tyre. This and the poor turning circle are the main reasons for not buying this model again.”

“Cracking car, still looks the part after a wash and 100,000 miles. The leather interior holds up well and the seats are as comfortable as people say.”

“Great practicality and comfort. Way overpriced and too expensive for parts and running costs. Best seats ever.”

“Being an ex-company car, with high mileage, I expected a few problems and in that respect it hasn't disappointed! In fairness, these are all fair wear and tear for a car with 105,000 miles on the clock. The stering lock could be better, but overall it is extremely comfortable and returns 44+ mpg.”
