Excellent choice. What a first Volvo.
It was between this, an M340i and an E300e.In the end the Volvo won the race as it was simple more interesting (didnt test drive any of them before committing).
Its faster than id imagined (live very close to the jura mountains in France), sounds more exciting, and ive used it in full electric more than i expected (covered 2000kms in 3 weeks, and averaged 3.5l/100kms or 80mpg (obviously you need to factor in electricity costs too, but the lack of hassle from having to fill up is nice too).
Everyone who i showed pictures to before i bought it, says it looks a lot better in person too.
(and no check engine lights yet!! (touch wood!))
Glad to be part of the Volvo family.

For some time now I’ve been thinking of a full resto on my 850 t5 estate… it’s not done a 100k yet, virtually no rot, paintwork is dire the laquer coat is peeling everywhere…. It doesn’t have the same pull as the T5R or the R but genuine T5’s seem to be becoming more rare than their more sought after cousins… I know it wouldn’t be cheap but I’m so very tempted ![scratchchin](/inc/images/scratchchin.gif)
