I got a new v70 r-design last june… the 2.0 diesel 136hp… really superb car, space, quality etc… the engine is cr*p though… mpg = 40….no matter what you do – and in this include filling it with 5 people, 5 bikes on the roof, loads of stuff till it's bulging at the seems and sticking a large trailer tent behind it…. and when it takes me solo on the motorway – yep it still gives 40mpg
I used to have a Toyota avensis estate – 2.2 170hp top of the range thing… brill engine (55mpg with just me on a run) but when loaded the mpg dropped through the floor and it sat down 😯 due to soft suspension….
