V50 2.0D

The best car I have owned

I purchased the car back in March 2010 with full service history and it has now covered 195,000 and 70,000 trouble free miles with myself. Trips included, Scotland, the South and France (North and South) on numerous occasions and the daily trudge to work. Ok, I have replaced normal wear and tear items such as tyres, brakes (discs + pads) and cambelt. The only niggles; the front washer jet pump packed up and the car loves (for some reason) to eat front headlight bulbs but apart from that, I get a good 50-60 mpg on long runs and average 52 mpg otherwise. The build quality is really good but I find the ride on the firm side so every pot hole and uneven surface of the great British roads we all love are felt but load it up and it handles great!

My advice is purchase one with FSH and get it serviced regularly (ABP in Shavington, Cheshire are just awesome at this) as normal Volvo dealer prices are expensive.
