But its versatility was sadly not matched by its performance. The Volvo Estate's turning circle was akin to that of an oil tanker's, its top speed was only 86mph and milk floats would leave it standing at the lights. So how did a car with such rectangular looks and lack of performance ever manage to win the hearts of the British?


WHAT?!?!?!? Oil tanker turning circle? Don't know which 245 they got but both my 240s had smaller turning circles than any other car I've driven. And neither were left behind by milk floats either. Quite the opposite. 86mph? Is that true for any 240? My 244 did 110mph and I've had my 240 at 120mph.

Maybe they should have driven one before writing that article.
