Volvo V50 SE Lux, 2.4TD, 5-door, Estate, 6 Speed (2006)
A Practical Comfortable Car!
I bought the car as a 3 year old from a lease car company it has a factory fitted SAT NAV which is brilliant and makes the car so useable using the factory upgraded DVD which covers all of Europe. The car is comfortable, easy to drive, reasonable costs to maintain and goes on forever!
Despite being claimed to be suffering slightly in the luggage / boot areas, and whilst I would agree mostly, tipping the rear seats forward gives a generous load area which when touring in europe with a caravan made the trip easy in terms of added space for all those extras you carry. I helped friends move house and towed a small luggage trailer and a 4 wheeled caravan easily and without any fuss - even returning over 40mpg!
Favourite features
Solid build, reliability, Built in SAT NAV, toasted warm front seats in leather, automatic gearbox and diesel MPG. I love the wood floating centre console and will miss the car.
Suggested improvements
Boot space when loaded with 4 people and luggage.
