December 2015

Yes.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I traded in my Volvo S80 for a Mazda 3, and traded it in within 10 days. Then I tried a BMW 320 series, which is a lovely car. Beige interior, auto etc, but you felt that you were sitting on the ground.(Not something that car reviewers offer much advice on.) So, I reverted to Volvo and bought a V60.
What was the dealer like?
Affable and helpful. Autoworld Volvo is a professional unit.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great car - driving seat height position is 24.29" as opposed to the 21.65" for the BMW. Use http://www.rica.org.uk/ for car comparisons. So, back to Volvo - 40 mpg around town, wonderful seats, high driving position, and a smart looking car.Powerful engine (2.4) and 17" wheels lead to a very comfortable, smooth ride.
What's it like to park?
Easy as pie.
