Thinking of changing the Passat estate - ‘cos were racking up some mileage on it – one of the many things I like about it is the amount of space there is – including the fact that I can get the yeti in the back (in a Planet X bike bag) in the back with all the luggage for a weeks hols and 2 teenage daughters still have plenty of room
So were thinking of changing to a Volvo or Saab – anybody got any experience of these – thoughts etc

V70 = bombproof, huge boot, superb seats, excellent stereo etc. etc.
Very happy with mine!

Never driven the Aero but my father-in-law had one for a while so been a passenger many times (he's a racing driver so likes to go quick
- quite stunning 30-80 acceleration. Apparently quicker at than some Porches etc.

go check the size of the boot yourself. We found that they aint as big as older cars were. The V70 is nice, but so is the SAAB. Go test drive...

Planning to get a test drive & do some measuring – especially as a lot of cars come in from the ‘waist’ line (Audi for example) – The bike bag only just goes in the Passat with all the cases etc & that by folding the corners to get it through the door way

V70R here. Not quite the RS6 I'd like, but still pretty useful. 3 bikes in the boot (wheels and frames all stood up vertically) so all the seats still useable. 300bhp and occasionally 30+mpg (might be a bit less sometimes too....). Comfy seats, decent stereo and pretty stealth so nobody notices you.
Downsides are stiff suspension and hilariously bad turning circle. Not exactly involving to drive, it ain't no Elise.
