Thumbs up Definately

Have driven Volvos for 40yrs, would not entertain any thing else, also drove Volvo commercials (F12 F16) all fantastic!

I posted some pictures on member's forums but not good at resizing.

What looked like beautiful pictures of my lovely Gloria turned into some dirtbag at the side of a road in West Cornwall.

From a 780 Bertone Coupe, I'd look at a 240GLT in the right spec or an 850/S70 T5 R

My s60 is another Volvo, having started almost three years ago with the c70 my daughter has now adopted as her own... when it comes to time for another car I will likely be looking at Volvo before anything else...

Volvo has infected our family!

Dad had a T reg V40 2.0T first. Then a ‘52 V70 D5, then an ‘06 V70 D5 which became mine. I’ve just got a ‘15 V60 D4 and he has an ‘18 V60 D4.

My partner took the p!ss of the V70 a bit when we first met but it won her over and now she’s got a C30!

When I was looking to change the V70 I would’ve been open to anything but I can’t find an alternative that balances performance, style, comfort, and safety as well!

Yes I would, there are just 3 Brands which i trust after round about 13 years of Carownership.

Volvo, Honda and Toyota anything else is not an Option

Default Buy Another VOLVO

Sure would I am on my third 2 S40s and now S60 - perfect car for me. I was worried about parts being more expensive but so far they are not. Fingers

Default Buy Another Volvo

It would take a lot of improvement for me to buy another Volvo due to atrocious dealer service, poor engine components and some less then "robust" interior fittings.

A number of other manufacturers offer 3 year unlimited mileage warranties, after 18 months of ownership it is obvious why Volvo limit the warranty to 60,000 miles.

It would be different if I did 10 - 12,000 miles a year instead of 30,000 miles as the tyres would last three years and I wouldn't have to suffer Volvo service departments every seven months.

Older model, definitely, but since the Roland Rat dashboard was pointed out to me on the newer models definitely not, I just couldn't live with it looking at me everyday.
