Hello, I am a long time Volvo owner, I have had a 440,480,v70 tdi (wonderful old bus),V40 (1.6, not Volvo's finest hour) and I am currently running a 1994 940 2lt SE saloon.

The option to acquire a 940 2.3 turbo estate has come up. I have been told that the seller wants rid as it is far too thirsty for them. Now my 2l saloon is hardly frugal. Can those with more experience advise me on the possible pitfalls of changing from one to the other?

My driving is mainly local, within 10 miles. My car has just passed it's MOT and the Estate will come with a fresh one.

I love the way the saloon drives and on the occasion that it does get on some decent roads it does get a bit of a thrashing. If I change will I be disappointed?

I don't really need an estate but the mileage is only just over 100k, the saloon is on 170k.
