Just obtained a quote for an S2000 (knocked a few years off the wife..lol..to make her 25 and put her on the policy) and the quotes were £650 to £900, which I don't think is to bad, considering the type of car Regards |

25 is where the major step change in premiums is...before that ££££.My insurer won't touch me, and tbh I do not want a car with such a reputation for being so tail happy.

Are you under 25 Ninja?
Yep in that case I agree and understand. I had the same problem years ago when 21 was the step, as I approached 21, the age was raised to 25....!!!!!!! Regards |

Yes VR, additionally I have had quite a lot of fun ensuring to even get the right spec car so I can get insurance hence "only" being a 1.8 and not a 2.0 MX5.

I'm never likely to buy any new car, but if I did it would not be a Volvo, in spite of the fact that I've driven them for over twenty years.
The reason is that like most manufacturers, they no longer make a proper, square-backed estate car! I need an estate to carry my dogs and Herself's mobility scooter, and so need a boot opening which is at least 32" high. With the modern trend for sloping rooflines, most estates are around 28" or less, so no go I'm afraid. When my present 850 dies, it'll have to be another one, or its later counterpart, the V70. Or a Berlingo van........................! |

Come the lottery win in August / September I will:
i) order a new XC70 T6 but ONLY if they put a manual box in it. It won't be Polestar blue though, something a bit more subtle like the current Twilight Bronze. ii) get it passed to Polestar for their attention - take as many mods from the Polestar S60 and have them transfererd to the XC70. Ohlins suspension, the brakes, engine remap and tweaks, etc. iii) Pick it up at the start of the skiing season in say late November and work our way through Europe to finish the season in the Alps (Samoens region) at Easter. iv) Drive back home to UK. Swap skis for the training bikes and drive to Barcelona (stopping en-route at a few selected places I have in mind). v) get the ferry to Majorca and spend April and May on the bikes training and enjoying the roads on 2 wheels. vi) drive back to UK and spend June and July in the UK. (time trial season on 2 wheels plus the T5D5 Castle Combe track day). vii) drive back to the Alps with the traing bikes and spend August and September two wheeling it round the mountains. vii) drive back to the UK, swap bikes for skis and start over again. What a splendid life

Xc70.
I've voted for the XC70 as it is the only Volvo I would consider buying.
I quite like the C30 (girly car, so for my Wife), my other like was the V50 (no longer in production). I don't like soft roaders at all. Prufrock. Last edited by Prufrock; May 20th, 2013 at 18:26. |

Dont like any of the current range. Volvo have lost there way in my opinion.
Much prefer the look and feel of the Audi if I were in the market for a brand new motor |
