What's the View on the V60

[Seeker UK]

I've had some figures put together on a 63 plate D3 V60 SE and it's an attractive offer. Next step is a test drive to see what they're like to drive but before that, I'd be interested in opinions here.

My previous Volvo history has seen me own a couple of 440s, a 480 and D5 (163BHP) S60 and V70 and although I'd love another D5 (especially the new one), they're a bit out of my price bracket new so a 163D3 might be OK. Anyone have one? Real world MPG? What are they like to drive?

Thanks

The D3 is 136bhp these days, the D4 is 163hp, according to Volvos website.

Yes, I noticed that.

I don't think I'd be content for too long with 136bhp.

Have a read of my thread and profile notes on my V60 D5 (215) - I like it.

Thanks for providing the link.

Have you heard a non-Dolby audio system? How does it compare?
