Your insights into VEA versus D5 are also very interesting, if a little disconcerting.

So... is Volvo turning into a company that makes company cars, i.e. cars that do well for the warranty period, after which reliability goes out the window but it’s someone else’s problem?

We’ve been thinking about buying one good car after we retire, and we’d considered a Volvo as that one good car. However, EGR cooler issues and high oil consumption issues haven’t exactly reinforced what we’ve been thinking.

Instead, I’m now starting to think that the only good Volvo might be a pre-VEA Volvo. This is a great shame given how nice our current V60 and V70 are to drive and be driven in.

Am I worrying too much?

Why not get a petrol version?
