2005 Volvo V50 Momentum 1.8
Summary:
The thinking family's best choice!
Faults:
Nothing so far.
General Comments:
It is our first Volvo.
We wanted a reliable, safe, quiet, comfortable, pleasant, elegant, powerful, practical, car for enjoying long journeys. This car fulfils all the above to the maximum!
Steering is crisp and feels confident even at high speeds (160-180km/h)
Cabin noise is low.
You can actually drive on motorways at very high speeds for hours and not feel tired.
The interior is just perfect!
Simple, elegant, understated, extremely efficiently designed and of high quality.
It is spacious too. 4 adults and a baby with plenty! of luggage, we have travelled for days and never felt cramped or annoyed.
Before buying it we also considered the new Audi A3 Sportwagon 1.6 FSi, Ambition. Compared to the Audi, the Volvo is equally well built, but it is more spacious, faster, more understated, and cheaper!
Overall an excellent choice!!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
