I'd avoid the usual suspects of Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Tried them all and didn't like any of them. The V50 has some quirks, but that's preferable to the anodyne boredom of the others, and it's that little bit smaller on the road which we prefer. HTH  |
My V50 has a few quirks to... Been a great car though. It has done 150,000 miles now and the engine feels like its just run in. I have had a few issues with it but I put that down to its age and they are not failures just wear and tear.
Had a ridiculous amount of cars over the years but this volvo is pretty much up there with the favourites I owned. Most boring car I have ever owned was a volkswagen, had it for a year and was glad when I traded it in. I don't really get the love affair with everything from the VAG.
