Defected

[Gucci]

Ahem. And so it has come to pass. Test drove a V50 R Design 2.4 D5 Sport SE Geartronic and loved it. Solid, sharp suited car, but conservative at the same time.

So, I bought it - got a good overall deal P/EX. The ML was an enjoyable beast, but after 3 years watching a fuel gauge, it was time to move on.

I shall keep popping my head in here from time to time though.

^ I'm not talking to you

















































Seriously though, hope you enjoy it. I still love my ML even though the fuel gage seems to drop pretty quickly Sent you a PM.

If I defect in the future, I hope I'll be able to still pop in - so please do! I personally have a soft spot for Volvo (and Saab) and reckon you've made a great choice there. Funnily enough I've just been reading about the new V60...hmmm!

Thanks - V60 a very different approach for Volvo - will split opinion I'm sure. Swoopy lines on a Volvo - whatever next?!!!

People said that about the previous S60 when it launched! And that was a lovely car and turned Volvo around. I think the tag line at the time was "Revolvolution" or something like that! My S60 T5 still ranks as one of the best cars I've owned and only one of two cars I've owned longer than 2 years!

I do like the V50, very attractive car and they seem to be very popular. Have fun with it.

People said that about the 850 when it launched as well!

I had a S60 D5 Geartronic - lovely car and very economical. Drove from Swindon to Bristol and then up to Inverness on one tank of diesel. Service costs on a par with MB. Had it 3 years (80k) and not a fault.

My only gripe was it's turning circle. Sometimes in sharp multi-storey carparks had to shunt it round turnings as it wouldn't go in one swoop. The MB with rear wheel drive was a revelation after this.

 

[bpsorrel]

That was my only gripe also!! That woeful turning circle made me look like a cr*p driver so many times!

Enjoy the V50, 18 month son and I still love mine, just because you have a Volvo doesn't mean you can't come on the forum you know

PS The guys on the Volvo forum aren't bad either so maybe see you over there?
