I have always been a Volvo fan and own currently a top-end 2002 Volvo 2.4T V70 that needs replacing. On looking around for a V70/XC70 replacement I find, to my utter disappointment, that below the 304PS 3.0-litre T6, Volvo only produces estates with diesel engines. Being retired I cover only about 8000 miles annually, which I understand is best suited for diesel-powered cars. I am not terribly keen on Franco-German-made estates, for personal reasons, and would have obviously preferred a like-for-like replacement. My disappointment is further exacerbated by the fact that a fairly large proportion of Volvo estate owners are 'seniors' like me who cover low annual mileage. Does Volvo not understand the potential market it is throwing away under its current model-building policy? In any case, I have a dilemma on what would be a suitable replacement for my much-loved Volvo V70 estate. Your advice would be most welcome.
