Overall reliability

Super to drive, very hard ride for passengers, economical.

My first experience of diesel, reluctantly, but the only way I could get an auto transmission with the engine size I was prepared to go to and stay with Volvo.
Found it a very good driver's car but even though I had the dealer fit 16" wheels it is a very hard ride
so am looking for a replacement.
Have used nothing but Shell Premium Fuel since I bought it and have been rewarded with satisfactory
fuel economy.
Service is carried out by the Main Dealer who sourced the car for me (it's a Volvo ex-management car)
and although the 4 year service cost was a bit eye-watering they try to avoid doing non essential work
(I have known them a long time).
