What was wrong with the accord? I was looking for an s type, but couldn't find one near enough so have given up.
I love big volvos.. V70 5cyl turbo ..manual.. Petrol.. Decent amount of grunt and the seats are so comfortable for mile munching.
They are not go-carts though so don't expect razor sharp handling!
A lot of newer bigger cars seem to have over harsh 'sports suspension' great in a hatchback, not so great for a mile muncher.

[url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/volvo-for-sale-3 ]I am also a massive fan of big Volvos. [/url]
The V70 was a valiant warrior, who died a noble death protecting my family and I. It also had 4WD, a massive turbo and went like hot shit off a shiny shovel. The seats in a V70 (leather and heated, natch) are the best car seats I have ever experienced. For reference, the chap who drives me to and from the airport has a lovely BMW 7 series, top spanky spec. My V70 front seats were better than his. Much better.
Had a 9 series Wentworth before that. Again with the turbo and an even bigger boot!
Now have a XC90. I could park a Mondeo in the boot. 🙂
As load lugging mule munchers, there's very little that's anywhere near as good as a Swedish brick!

No you couldn't. Your XC90 is only 79mm longer but 114mm narrower.

I wasn't being entirely serious, you know.
Then again...

Add in the fact that it's a taller boot, has much less of a sloping rear windscreen, the split seats options, and the third row of full size seats, and I reckon that's better than a Mondeo as a load lugger.
