  . The people acting like cretins who ring up and ask ?Quote me Happy?

  at the dealer. The 2004 V70's I've driven seem more "together" and more refined. Had a quick go of an Accord 2.4 VTEC Executive auto and it seemed to be a better quality car than the Volvo but the ride wasn't up to much and I'm not sure it had the overall comfort of the Volvo. Comments?
