Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car is sporty and modern unlike me.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Very positive.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Absolutely. The safety features including the 'City Safe' reinforce what Volvo is all about, the MPG is satisfactory and 205hp enables safe overtaking and is a good power pack for the weight of the vehicle.
What are you likely to buy next?
Almost certainly another Volvo 4x4/Crossover. My last four cars have been Volvo and the previous four were MB but Mercedes have become too expensive.
