No expenditure except servicing costs and petrol but still returning 32mpg (manual).

On the road
Driving
Enjoyable driving experience. Only criticism is lack of visibility when reversing but inherent to convertibles.
Performance
Enough power for my requirements, but you can only do 70mph anyway so what's the need for 4 litres and more?

Living with it
Reliability
Only problem encountered in 12 months was problem engaging cruise control sorted by Volvo dealer in about 1 hour.
Image
Being bright red it is a real head turner, but that's me going back to my second childhood. P.S. my first ever car was a Hillman Super Minx convertible.
Comfort
Exellent but what do you expect from a Volvo?
-
Security and Service
Security
Alarm activates even with a key or any mettalic object left in the ashtray as I found out several times in the early hours.
Service
I have owned Volvos for the past 35 years and have nearly always recieved a top class service. I sometimes felt it was expensive but quality has to come with a cost.
