How old are you and what Volvo do you drive?

[760Simon]

I'm 55 and have a 2002 S80 2.4 SE auto 91k on the clock in silver & 1988 760 GLE V6 saloon in dark blue with 83k love both but only use the 760 in the summer it goes into hibernation in the winter

V70 D5 mk3 have previously owned V70 mk2 740 manual and a 740 automatic.
current car has gained some and lost some advantages over the older ones.

I'm 58 and am currently running a 2008 V70 2.4D auto and a 1998 V70 SE Tdi auto, although for the last few years my daily driver has been the works Fiesta van. Have to say the Fiesta has been far better than I thought it would be.

The 2008 V70 was bought as a replacement for the 1998 V70 when the cambelt failed. I ended up fixing it and keeping both!

When I was learning to drive, much of my practice was done on my Dad's 164; He's currently running a V60 and a 940 saloon.

I bought my first Volvo, a rather tired 122 in 1984 and since then have owned at various times:
a 145, a 245, a 260 estate, a 1.7 345, a 760 estate, a 440, an old style V40 and the two V70s mentioned above. Apart from 6 weeks with a Saab 96 with a prodigious thirst for oil, I've only ever owned Volvos.

My favourite to date is the V70 Tdi.

Hope this is of some interest.

Just a thought; is anyone coordinating all the replies on a spread-sheet by any chance? When I see how much interest that this thread has generated, I wish that I had done this from the beginning.

Regards, John.

Well, at 22 I'm one of the youngest here.

And what with my 240 Estate being 25 I think I'm one of few driving a Volvo older than me!

Oh, I guess the two Vauxhalls bear mentioning too, they've served me well.

I covered thousands of miles in v4 saabs and would have another in a heartbeat. Wonderful build quality, tremendous styling and huge fun to throw about.

45 here and drive a muchly loved 2002 S60 T5 manual, which is my 3rd Volvo.

Actually bought it cheap as a potential classic (long way to go I know lol) to restore and run as a weekend fun car. It's actually better than my 2010 Astra Sri in almost every way so I took the Astra off the road and now use the S60 all the time.
Next year I plan to take it off the road and get some work done to it, and also try keep the miles relatively low (at 121k at the moment).
I'd recommend a T5 to anyone as a solid all round performance car
