I really am not sure I'd buy another.

I had, company cars:
1995 850 GLT, 2.0 estate, awfully underpowered but well built/ reliable
1997 V70 2.5 SE, nice, OK
2001 V70 S 2.4 (awful!; lots of power, seriously under specced with tyres terrible interior build quality, problems with MAP sensor, going into limp mode on a dual carriageway; recall in the USA, not in Europe)

Then cars bought with a car allowance.

2004 V70 D5 SE; nice, excellent build quality, very dodgy engine electircs (water ingress)

A Ford for 9 years ( ST220 Estate, no major costs, not even a battery)

Private cars;

V60 Polestar. Dodgy battery charging despite the dealer saying it's normal for it to be below 12.3 V. It isn't!!!!!!! Smart charging apparently !
Weird behaviour when the battery is invariably discharged.
I love driving the car, but I really shouldn't have to connect it to a battery charger when it's not being used for as few days !
