Is the Volvo V50 Estate unreliable?
My question is do you have any comment to make about Volvo V50 Estates? I have had three 7-Series Volvo Estates and decided to downsize but my garage who looks after me very well has warned me off the V50 Estate due unreliability and expensive maintenance costs. Do you have any comments on that advice?

Nice cars, but a very long list of recalls. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/volvo/v50-2004/ In particular: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/volvo/v50-2004/?sect...d

Classy-looking compact estate with very good ride comfort and tidy handling. A fine long-distance cruiser. The UK's most popular Volvo.
