Volvo 940 Estate
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very good value. Very little goes wrong.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Decent MPG on motorway, heavyish around town. I average around 430 miles a tankful.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A joy to drive, not lumbering or barge-like as per older 7 & 940s, very easy to park.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Rocketship acceleration. Annoys boy racers in BMWs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very reliable. In 18 months, only replaced water pump.

    What image? Old geezer's car!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very comfortable over long distances. Those lovely seats are armchair-like.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very nickable, but who's going to nick a Volvo estate?

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Use an independant garage for servicing.
