Replacing a 2013 Volvo V70 D4
Discussion
As per the title.
The V70 we've had for close on three years and 20K miles. Does a few 250 mile runs a year but more frequently it's a 20 mile round trip to the shops and back which isn't good for a diesel.
It replace a string of Volvo 940 which I loved. Wife didn't. She loves this car, it's super comfortable, bigger than a 940 but doesn't carry as much but it's still a big estate car and it's a lot lighter to drive then the 940. It also has a VED of about £35 and does about 50mpg.
So to replace it I need to find an estate with at least a much carrying capacity (three of us plus two dogs), manual (definitely), petrol (definitely). Would happily go for another Volvo but they all seem to be diesel in the larger Volvo range.
If I said the V70 +£5K that would take me to about £12K. Might add a little more if necessary but it's the family car so will get parked in Tesco etc and get the dogs in the back.
This the first night of contemplating a change so I'm open to suggestions, thanks.
