1.7 CRDi Premium (2WD) 5dr 4 X 4

Great Value for my Money

We bought this to replace my wife's Volvo C30. We had already tried the Volvo XC60, Honda CRV & Nissan Qashqai (all much too expensive) & the Kia Sportage (too cramped - I'm 6' 3" & my wife's 6'). So we were both delighted when we tried the ix35.
There's loads of room & the fully glass roof gives a lovely light, airy feeling in the cabin. The seats are very comfortable & the driver's position is close to perfect. The car is fully loaded with satnav, bluetooth, reversing camera, voice recognition, heated front seats with partial leather. The extras are part of the "media pack", good value at £1,000.
The engine is very willing & pulls extremely well from low revs & is already giving nearly 50 mpg after only 1,500 miles of mixed motoring. The 6 speed box is very smooth & the road holding is very reassuring with virtually no body roll. It even looks good, particularly in silver metallic.
Best of all was the £3,000 discount on a 2 week old demonstrator with less than 1,000 miles on the clock. This is a very good, much under rated cross over. We are both very pleased, it might even get me out of my V70 after 20 years of Volvo ownership!
