  on the clock and good history (Verso is too small, XC90 worries me with repair bills, don’t fancy a Zafira, Galaxy, S Max, Grand Picasso, or Alhambra) Have I missed anything worth considering - such as an older X5? - and if not, which would be a better investment to try and get 6 or more years of well
• Rubbish Volvo advert 13 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  into a monologue about how wonderful his XC90 is, until the caller asks how much it costs - at which point he gets all evasive and pretends his flight is taking off. After he's hung up, he orders a black coffee in the departure lounge after fibbing to the caller. 1) Who cares about their car to that extent? 2
• Which SUV to replace diesel estate? 26 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  ways to spend it) so I've looked a little upmarket from where I am now. I've looked at the VW Toething and have heard that it isn't too reliable from other owners. The ML270 carries poor tales of reliability and the BMW is a bit too "soccer wife" for me. I was going to look at the XC90, but I heard
• Part Exchange. Your guess is?..... 23 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Taking the current family transport into a dealership tomorrow for a part exchange valuation against a new XC90 I'm picking up on Friday. Given the demand for these cars, no discount was expected or offered, although the salesaman did agree to PX the current car. He didn't view it at the time

  of the CR-V, RAV4, Kodiaq, Sportage, Kuga, CX-5, CX-60, XC40, XC60, XC90. I have test driven several of these and I have no real complaints, aside from poor fuel efficiency on some – particularly new petrol and hybrid CR-Vs. I would prefer not to spend more than £20k. I'd rather not have

• Suggestions of a good new car 4 x 4 5 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  ... I have the trade in price of this BMW plus a few thousand to spend, so not too much really. I looked at the Volvo XC90 and xc70 - the latter is too small in the back, and the 90 seems to have other problems I have seen on forums. I had an xtrail several years ago - a good reliable car but found
• Swapping S-Max for Kia Sorento 16 Jan 2014 (Forum)

• Convoluted relationships 11 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  for the Volvo XC90 and S80 also being Yamaha sourced. We also have a legacy agreement between Volvo and Mitsubishi, which effectively also links Ford to Mitsubishi, an X-Type on a Mondeo floor plan and the new S40 and V50 on the as-yet-to-be-released new Focus floor plan. That's just scratching the surface

  ) - in effect, getting free motoring less fuel, which is also a lot cheaper here than in the UK! Over the past few years I have done reasonably well with X5s and Volvo XC90s.

  to have got carried away. I can't afford to buy another Disco 3 and why would I buy say an out of warranty 3 year old Volvo XC90 for 85% of the price of a deeply discounted new one? I read that HJ thinks the next couple of weeks is the best time to buy secondhand before prices go up again in time

• My Road Test - Volvo XC70 D5 Summum Auto 19 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  works seamlessly, providing rock-steady traction - it's your privilege not to think about it all, for it's just there doing its job. Perfectly.
