Volvo 460 1.8 Si 4d Auto (SR) (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Second-hand when it was 6 years old, 89k miles, 1 owner and Volvo FSH for £1400 from the auction.
Costs
Volvo parts and service cost are a little steep. Once you go over 100k miles, things will start to show. Fuel consumption is excellent for an auto box (Town:~30mpg, motorway:~45mpg). Insuurance cover is also cheap.

On the road
Driving
Steady and confortable on motorways, but not for sport driving. Very smooth CVT autobox, but don't use it for towing!
Performance
Good torque.

Living with it
Reliability
It goes for a long while without complaint. Proper servicing is vital!
Image
more 'upper class' looking than the previous shape, but now it looks outdated since the launch of the S40.
