Default First time Volvo owner

Having owned many cars from a fair number of brands over the years, Volvo has escaped me...until now

Getting older but still like a bit of performance but the fun angle is covered by the V8 Vantage and TVR Tuscan sitting in the garage.

Have a BMW 650 convertible as a daily driver (although the TVR does more miles than it) and OH declared she wanted an estate version of the 650, big, safe, comfortable with decent performance

Having had a horror episode with a BMW 535d Touring I was avoiding BMWs, and as we wanted petrol that ruled out the 5 series anyway (petrol Tourings are near impossible to find)

Perfect opportunity to scratch the Volvo itch, discounted the V60 as too small for our needs, so V70 it had to be and therefore needed to be a T5, having decided the extra cost and complexity of 4 wheel drive and an R was ot justifiable

Did not want a Japan import and wanted a manual, the latter was the problem as these seem to be pretty thin on the ground.

Hopefully collecting this on Saturday, deposit paid and seems like a good one, albeit not cheap at all, Last owner for nearly 10 years, 16 stamps in the service book and of course, a manual
