So why would someone wish to buy one of these, minus the very useful bit, I mean why would you buy a saloon version, they are the same size as the 'wagon' , but less useful.
Same with the 240/245, why buy a saloon? It's a bit like....''how did we ever manage before the hatchback'?
Is it just because some folks just like saloons, well, they must do, because Volvo made them and sold them, but to me, it makes no sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a dig at anyone, I really find it intriguing.

The saloon offers better rear legroom and, as High Peak Autos found, some S80s are extremely well-equipped. Massage anyone?
