Yep I bought another, last one was a 144, nice memories....

Bought an XC60 D5 AWD SE Prem Lux - 3 years old with every gadget under the sun on it. Very, very, very pleased ... what more to say. Oh and Volvo insurance came in £300 cheaper than Direct Line (Thieving Scoundrels).

I am a confirmed Volvoite

Since buying my 2002 V70 D5 SE in August of 2012, I have to say that it's been the biggest dog of a car that I've had the misfortune to own. And that includes Fiats and Alfa Romeos. I'm honestly beginning to wonder why I got rid of my P1 Classic - it was better built, more reliable and nicer to drive, if a bit thirsty. I should have had it converted to gas.

So, the answer is still, yes - I would buy another Volvo; but not one post MY1999.

I have an S60 D5 215 which tows my caravan really well.Have now got another dog so needed an estate so have bought a 2012 V70 D5 se lux.It has loads of bits and sat nav plus the price was pretty good.I have been looking around at other cars but can't really see 1 as right for me unless I had a lot more money then I may have found 1.Anyway pick up the V70 on Tuesday so really looking forward to it.

+1 although mines a V60 d2 having come from a 335d touring.

I have just bought 2nd Volvo 2009 V50 SE D5 R-Design, before that I had 2001 V40 SE 1.8 GDI for 5 years. Anyway, I would definitely buy again

My Volvo is a great car but I wouldn't have another

Why? Huge depreciation and terrible customer service.

joe1961 · Feb 27th, 2013, 13:42

I voted that I would buy another because I have always liked Volvo's but could never afford one until the C30 came along (I'm on my third C30).

BUT I reallly don't like the new V40 and anything bigger is too expensive over here so I probably won't buy another.

Having had a Vauxhall Corsa and a VW Bora before my S80, I can safely say that the Volvo is the best of the lot.

Of the many cars that I've been in over the years too, still love getting in a Volvo, whether it's my grandfathers S60 or my S80.
