This all good stuff .... thank you guys (and girls?)
I intend to spend approx £11000 Sterling on my next car, used of course.
I have narrowed it down to the S60 and SAAB 9-3
Dismissed the Beemer 3 series, more of those on the roads here than Ford
Mondeos these days!!
C Class reliability is a serious issue ... I know 3 owners, all with stories
to tell :-s
Nothing much else takes my fancy ...
Audi Bland
Honda Fuddy Duddy image
Ford Residuals
Vauxhall Even more bland
Same goes for all of the Japanese options also
I want a comfortable, reliable stylish motor .... only two really fall into
that category for me.
I have driven the 9-3 (1.8t) and S60 2.0T
The 9-3 is a sportier drive, definitely, and also has the edge with economy,
like for like.
The Volvo however is far more stylish and oh so amazingly comfortable (kids
in rear ... occasional adults)
Kids preferred the 9-3, I'm still undecided.
I have learned a lot about the 9-3 SS in the months I've been researching,
so am aware of the very few issues with them. I know little about Volvo's
though. On a learning curve right now, although it seems there is little to
'learn' in honesty.
Please continue to add your tuppence (2 cents) worth, it's all useful
Thanks again
