My XC90 is coming to the end of life, it has been a great car but it is now time for a change.
Has anyone had any experience of the Q5 3.0d. I like the look of these and they appear to be a powerful motor.
Any info would help me make the choice.
Thanks

Need to qualify 'towing'.

What are you going to tow and how often?

It will be used to tow a TVR Chimaera on a 4 wheel transporter, about 1650kg plus a load of maybe 200kg of tools and stuff in the car four or five times a year.
Thanks

Sounds fine.

Why not another Volvo?

Had it 6yrs and just fancy a change. It has been a great car. My only fault I find is that it is a tad thirsty.
