    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I paid £180. Can't beat that!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cheap to insure, not too fuel-thirsty either.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Easy to drive, very light power steering.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fine, until the battery died. Now it's got a new one, all is well again.

    It's a 20 year old Volvo Estate. Who cares?!

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Pretty good, for a 20 year old car.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Probably dead easy to break into. Security wasn't an issue in the early 80s.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not much to say really.
