Economy
Value
For a car that cost over 37k when new, it is a shame for some reason this mark does not retain its value like some others in its class, yet this is a very rare model and deserves more recognition than it gets.
Costs
If it's mpg your after, not so good, around 21 action packed smile laden mpg, it's worth it.

On the road
Driving
Breath taking perforance & road holding from the AWD system, this car has so much mid range grunt, it just keeps feeding in all the time, brillant sensation, and upsets many a BMW Merc and Porche (Boxter) owners.
Performance
Amazing, out performs a majority of similar cars on the road, these cars are easily tweaked to 300 bhp, from there standard 240bhp

Living with it
Reliability
These vehicles have to have Volvo servicing to retain there reliability, and above all their resale appeal. I find my local Volvo dealership to be one of the very best and overall costs of servicing very competitive.
Image
Well, just take a look at the picture included, need I say more, it is gorgeous.
Comfort
Unless your talking 'S' class or Bently, I do not think you will find a more comfortable and well equiped car on the market.

Volvo factory fitted with deadlocks
Service
Could not ask for better service from my local main dealer, but this is not to say you will get the same quality and standards from all others. I have invested in a Warranty Direct Gold Plan, which I think is essential at £24pm for peace of mind.
