V90’s

[stevemcs]

I have pretty much decided the next big estate is going to be a 520d G31 BMW, however spec, interior and looks wise the v90 looks to be the better car, for those that have owned, driven either by or Volvo what’s your thoughts. Am I going to be disappointed with a Volvo ? Budget is going to be d4/5 so around 17k give or take.

Just a thought, can you get the seat low ? My current Mondeo always feels like an suv seat after driving our mini

I had no issues, I'm 6' 2" and was very comfortable. The Cross Country does sit 80mm higher than the standard version.

Thanks, it more how low the drivers seat goes, you can sit quite low in the BMW.

Thanks, at the minute I’m looking at D5’s so 235bhp, which I’m hoping is better than the 520d.

I’m still looking, more towards a D5 but yes road tax is near on £600 although that should drop in year 5. The Volvo certainly seems to sell much quicker than the 5 series
