Hi everyone!

First post so please be gentle.

I've just ordered a V50 2.0 SE Sport with a couple of options (Family Pack and rear parking sensors).

Really liked the look and drive of the car so got one in brilliant blue due for delivery end of March.

Have read most of the reviews (most good - some bad).

What can I expect?

Nick

Hi *waves*

You can expect to not get stresed in traffic jams - the car's a very relaxing place to be, so much so that I end up getting quite chille dout when the motorway is stuck fast...

you can expect to get in aching after a long day and get out after your journey feeling comfortable and relaxed. The seats are great. Especially with the electric heat.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Seems like I've made a good choice and will be getting a nice comfortable car.

I have a Focus at the moment (an ST).

I have just signed the dotted line for a 55 plate 2.0d SE with winter pack and 18in alloy upgrade - I too have given up a Focus ST for the Volvo!!
It will be interesting to see how we get on!
