Another proud marque bites the dust!:( Geely just doesn't cut it. It's what you spread on a "piece" ;)The Jeely Piece Song BBC News - Volvo sale signed by Geely and Ford

Hi I am looking for a a new car for my Mother and Father in law, the requirement is that it is a 7 seater as when we all visit them in Scotland we need the seats. We had shortlisted the Toyota Corolla Verso, Mazda 5, Citroen C4 and VW Touran. Then I happened upon the idea of the Volvo...

I am about to spend £150 on Volvo accessories - does anyone know of a site that sells Volvo (child seats) at less than retail or any discount?! Thankyouverymuch

Any good? Seems a bewildering model range and a love it/hate it interior - but seems to get ok reviews and they appear pretty cheap. Not sure I want to stretch to a 211 at this moment in time, don't like the look of the older C class estate for similar money, and one 124 in a lifetime is...

Not gotten rid of the MB but am interested in buying an estate car and have always liked the look of the Volvo V70 2.5TD. Any pointers on what to look for would be appreciated. TIA

So, finally collected my new XC60 D5 SE Lux from Lookers Colchester. First impression are that this is not a small car. In fact, it's huge! The Volvo badge in the front is also very imposing I think. Well done to Volvo. The black does make the car look very big. After the usual paperwork it...

Wife's new S40 2.0D R-Design that replaced an A Class. Much better to drive than you may think.

Not mine but my brothers. He has had this for 3 / 4 years and has been great fun, cheap track days. Very reliable and great given its a volvo and it can keep up with many on paper far quicker cars.... Anyone who does track days will testify whats quick on the road isn't always quick on the...

As many of you already know, I got fed up with the weird way of Mercedes-Benz business sense towards their clients, so I have had a good look around and have now ordered a(nother - see S40 thread) new Volvo. This time an XC60 which is a completly different car from my previous E55 that I sold...

This is one that might interest some of you, I have just taken on some work with VW Motorsport for the summer which will see them run some diesel performance cars in one of their race series. Anyway yesterday I met with one of the race engineers who will be responsible for this programme and we...

It was time for the wife's A class to go and we have spent some time looking at the following cars: A Class A170/A180 Cdi auto (obviously!) Golf 140 Tsi DSG (better than Golf V) Volvo S40 2.0D auto (nice one) Focus 1.6 Titanium (well, had to have a look!) Bmw 120 (crap!) A3 2.0 Tdi DSG (very...

Breaking news on the WALL STREET JOURNAL today that Chinese car maker GEELY are to likely make a bid for Volvo cars from FORD next week. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123598911798908093.html

Finally, I have seen my new collectable item and a few pics enclosed. For those who doesn't know what this is..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_760#Volvo_780 This example that I have bougt, is a Light Brown Metallic 1987 equipped with a 2.8l V6 with 156 bhp (no catalyser!). Only 119000...

Hi All As some of you on here know I was getting rid of the Subaru work Wagon and had ordered a Volvo T5 which I was due to take delivery of this week, however due to some screw up between the dealer and the factory my order appears to have evaporated into thin air and needless to say my car...

No, I am not defecting back to Volvo (not yet anyway) despite feeling the "drag" towards the marque :p BUT, I have just found a model I always wanted as young but there was no hope ever, at the time, for me to afford to buy one. So now I have finally bought one. From Sweden. It's a Volvo...

My Volvo is probably surplus to requirements too, so it's reluctantly up for sale. It's a 1995 'M' 850 GLE 2.5 10v Auto Estate, in dark green, with back full leather interior. Climate control, cruise, heated seats, electric sunroof & windows, RCL, OTG, trip computer, roof bars, dog guard...

Hi all. Has anyone owned either of these? what do you think? What goes wrong? and how much more expensive are they to run than a Merc? Thanks for any help. R

Has anyone driven this new vehicle and if so what do we think about it? My interest would be in the D5 AWD Any thoughts, observations would be appreciated. regards John

Renault Modus or Volvo 740, which is safer..?? place your bets. I'll go for the Renault..
