Welcome to drive the debate

A pleasure to be in. Have never felt so safe. Economy for such a luxury car is excellent

Turning circle is a bit on the large size

I bought my 04 car from an airport taxi company. It had spent its 160,000 miles running executives up and down to London airports. It felt a bit of a gamble to buy such a high mileage car but it had been serviced every 2 months, was in good condition and offered tremendous value. I was a bit concerned that I was doing the right thing but I needn't have worried as the car has proved to be excellent in all respects. It wears its mileage very well and drives like a much newer car. It is comfortable, luxurious and cheap to run. I believe they can go on to do 350,000 miles without problem so I have my fingers crossed. If it lasts me 75,000 further miles it will owe me nothing. I feels as if it will last me longer, at least I hope so because it is the best (but certainly not the most expensive) car I have owned. It is so comfortable yet economical that I think everyone should have one! I can hand on heart recommend the volvo S80 D5 to you. The only signs of mileage on my car are some stone chips (remarkably few) in the laquer on the front valance, cracked fog lights and an area of peeling laquer on the off side wing mirror. The alloys are a little scuffed too. Other than this everything works as it should and the interior (even the drivers seat) is excellent. The bodywork is good too. It shines up like a new car, a true testament to the quality of the paint.
