clearly the best mag out there

they give you the facts, the truth and everything in between that you need to know

take this about the Volvo V70

absolutely BANG ON




"Performance fans can choose from a 260bhp T5 or a 300bhp R, but the V70’s chassis doesn’t have the sophistication to do all that performance justice.

On the other hand, there’s plenty of choice for those of us who swim in the mainstream. However, with the entry-level 140bhp 2.4 petrol under the bonnet, it can feel like rowing against the tide.

The 170bhp 2.4 does a better job, but the best engine is the 185bhp 2.5 D5 turbodiesel, although the 163bhp 2.4D is fine too."
