Your Quotes
“A good, practical and comfortable vehicle, with fine economy. There are niggles, though - namely a poor turning circle and excessive wind and tyre noise.”
Mr John Reynolds - Wirral
“Fantastic combination of performance (it's the T5 version) and practicality.”
Mr Graham Allan - Hants
“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.”
Mr Ian Quinney - Burntisland
“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.”
Mr Jim Sweetman - Suffolk
“Great practicality and comfort. Way overpriced and too expensive for parts and running costs. Best seats ever.”
Mr Matthew Slack - Rossendale
“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.”
Mr Alisdair Tweddle - Hampshire
Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 12th)
Safety, comfort and durability these are the attributes that keep customers coming back to Volvo. But does the car maker live up to its reputation? You tell us that its cars are tough to beat for practical long-distance cruising, voting Volvo in at the top of the comfort chart. Yet this comes at a cost, and keeping your Swedish model on the road is leaving a considerable hole in many budgets.
