    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb! Had highish mileage (80K) but came with full years warranty and fresh annual service.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    None yet, but probably little different from their makes. Average 31 mpg. Motorway 45mpg.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Hardly a sports car, but perfect for UK roads and motorways. It's a big car if you need to manoeuvre in confined spaces.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    As above, not a sports car, but the auto box handles acceleration remarkably well.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never faltered.

    Quality! Perfect for the older guy. But that's me! Certainly not for the boy racer, but his girlfriend would love its regal air.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The ultimate, driving or being driven! And better than big German names.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very well specified and no reason to have it tested. Probably not at the top of a car thief's wish list.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Car came with one year warranty and fresh service. Also had follow-up calls to see that all was well. Full marks to Hapstead Volvo Gatwick.
