Which current Volvo is your favourite? - Page 18

If it wasn't for 2 factors, it would be V90XC

But with that price tag
And messed up tailgate (sloping? Really? About as practical as custard in wellingtons)

As it is it has to he XC70

Most of XC range is too high for me, I don't like tall cars. I do think that 4x4 is useful though.
So, good load lugger, 4x4, low, flat like a squashed tank.. XC70.

None they are not proper volvos in my view to much plastic and gadgets you don’t need air con is typical you just don’t need it in england maybe in really hor forin countries but not here

Ditto Ted - they don't list my favourite, my injection 164E. Four plus overdrive gearbox, power steering and sedately-high - not laying on the floor as if a sportscar. I've had this car since last century: my folks could get into it easily, it is comfortable and spacious. I don't do fuel economy (if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen), nil depreciation and of course NO PLASTIC! What else does one need?

V60 CC, has a very good write up and is recommended over the V90 CC.
Otherwise an XC70 or V70......brilliant allrounders imho particularly the D5 (practical, relatively cheap to run, economical, comfortable and stylish!)

Unless they put manual transmition into a new volvo I will not be buying one.
