My first Volvo experience was a 1997 V40 estate, bought at 9 years old. OK but very flaky electrics and had a habit of requiring expensive rear suspension bushes (only available as an exchange unit with the radius arm).Apart from that though, it was well built and had great paintwork.
I probably shouldn't admit it on here but it was scrapped last year under the Govt scrappage scheme against a new Fiat 500!
I'll probably get banned now from the Volvo Forum!
