Yourguitarhero – is that a 960, super cool Ovlov, I had one in the late 90s it was solid! Proper man wagon!
I’ve got an xc60, it was that and the disco sport on my short list, the finance and servicing deal offered on the Volvo swung it for me – I’ve always had a rod on for Volvos so was kinda glad it stacked up financially over the landy. There’s a new model due later this year based on their new scalable platform which I’m sure will have a similar interior to the current 90 range as such the used value on the current models will take a dip.
I’m getting a genuine 50mpg out of my xc60, the car is super comfortable comes as standard with loads of extras and a fab hifi, £30 annualy to tax and 0-60 in just over 8 seconds it checked a load of boxes! I had a tow bar fitted primarily for my bike rack, as you’d expect a fully assembled bike won’t get in the boot without folding the rear seats down. It’s wider inside than my previous v60 / v70s can get 3 child seats side by side in there without squishing them together and the boot is massive!
I took a disco for a test run it was fab, however, the discounts available were way smaller (had quotes for both using carwow) and the finance deals weren’t great 6.9 vs 0% iirc.
