Default V50 or V70 ?

Hi all,

I have owned an S60 for the last 4 years but its time to move it on as its starting to cost money to keep it going.

I have always fancied owning a Volvo estate so wanted some advice please.

Budget is £4-£5K, and I need a car that will tow a small caravan (2/3 berth approx 17ft long). And would prefer an automatic.

Would you buy a car with a tow bar already fitted or buy without and have one fitted professionally?

Also - reliability wise how good are the V50s compared to the V70s. My S60 is quite thirsty - averaging 28mpg (petrol). would want something mid 30s or better, so should i go for Petrol or Diesel?

Thanks in advance

Jim
