Volvo V60 (2010 - 2018) D5 (215bhp) AWD SE 5d Geartronic Owner Review

Only had this car for a few weeks but straight away on the test drive I knew this was something special. It has a solid feel to it. From the reassuring clunk of closing the doors to the way it holds itself on the road with the AWD system and the positive feel to the steering, this is a car that presents itself very well. The front seats and driving position are possibly the most comfortable I've come across and the cabin is awash with gadgets and gizmos to keep the driver entertained, some other reviews here slate the sat nav & audio systems but I find it all works really well and the voice activation experience is a lot of fun too. A recent trip from Yorkshire to Fort William and back, on a leisurely 60mph cruise returned an average 60.9mpg (yep, that's sixty point nine, not a typo) on the 800 mile round trip, leaving a potential 270 miles in the tank. Quite impressive from a 5 cylnder 215bhp oil burner which would be capable of 140mph+ if required. I really can't praise this car enough. It's smart & stylish, big enough for regular needs, economical but pacy, has precise road holding qualities, very well built and well equipped. All this from a six year old car which still looks and drives like new. The only thing better than my car would be a newer V60, which will be my next move a few years down the line.
