Default Advice wanted!!

Good evening and hello everyone. I'm currently a vauxhall man and I'm on vectra Sri no 5. Question - should I change to a Volvo V50 2.0d se sport 06? Reason being that I need more space as we have another addition to the family. All comments appreciated.

Given that this is a Volvo forum, this is a 'Does a one-legged duck swim around in circles?' question.

However, give it time; there will be answers. It might have been better to ask in the V50 forum though.

Hi Mart2823

The V50 load area is smaller than a Vectra estate but is larger than the Vectra hatchback.

If you'e looking for space then the V50 is not your best choice. Try the V70.

V50



V70 before the latest model

And if you are a Vauxhall man and you are considering a V70 then look back and consider a Insignia estate.

Buy an isignia estate and you will hate it, your wife will hate it, the kids and dogs will refuse to get in it,complete strangers will point and laugh, your neighbours will erect gates at the end of you road to keep you out, your relatives will disown you, Santa will never visit your house again and you will resell it at a loss two months later when you try to trade it in for a volvo.
