cochapman Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 I'm new to the woderful world of MPVs, but 'er in doors has decided that she needs one to replace our current 850 estate. I must get an automatic and I quite fancy the idea of a diesel. With a budget of ~ Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Welcome. 2 main areas of concern are (1) dodgy aircon, so make sure you have a warranty that covers repairs, and (2) dodgy auto boxes when coupled to the diesel, so make sure you get a warranty that covers repairs..... Good luck ! :lol: Sure you don't want a V70 D5 geartronic instead? My parents recently bought one and I have to say that I find the windscreen pillars are a biger source of blocked vision than of the 850 that preceeded it, and of my Galaxy. Quote

AHH that could explain why OVLOV drivers keep pulling out in front of people! I just thought it was because they had bad eye sight! now I come to think of it thats how they bought the OVLOV in the first place :lol: always wonder why the order form in the OVLOV dealers was in braile :huh: Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Nope - I persuaded them to buy a Volvo when I was just 13 years old, and they have had at least one in the family ever since. I learnt to drive on one, and subsequently drove it round most of the Monaco GP circuit, the Le Mans Mulsanne straight a few times over a numebr of years.....even used it to help move house. It now resides on an airfield somewhere awaiting some tlc by its new owner. It's almost as old as me ! Quote
cochapman Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 Hey! I've rallied a 340 and a 240 :D I just don't know where people get the idea Volvo's are slow :D Any way, back to MPVs...went to that big car supermarket just of the A40 in West London. Loads of Gals, half a dozen Shars and two Bems. None in my price range that really grabed me...of to eBay :D Quote
