I think it's clear from all the car review mags that Volvo are not yet troubling the likes if MB , BMW or Audi . But as was said they don't belong in the like of Ford, or Vx. So they're in a group of their own ? Difficult to raise your game when there's little opposition

I'm looking at a change from MB due to having built quality issues on a car that cost ne early £40k. Eg, loose exterior trim, interior door handle falling off . These are things I don't expect ANY new car to have, let alone one that costs 40k!

Maybe I'm going to be disappointed by Volvo (especially as after I've picked my options the car is approaching the thick end of 40k). Who knows.

Personally I do kinda see Volvo as being the 4th member of tha that exclusive 3 car group. Maybe it's lack of numbers on the road that's making the association more difficult than it needs to be.
