I've been looking for a car that is super economical for long distances and a few town runs.

I'm definitely after zero tax and 500 miles to the tank. I tend to stick to German cars having owned a number of VWs, BMWs and an Audi. However, on running a zero road tax search on Autotrader, I was introduced to the Vovlo C30.

Drove a 2013 model today. £11995 from Volvo West London. Had a 4 pot 1.6 diesel engine which was a lot perkier than I thought it would be. Most of all, I was thoroughly impressed with the building quality. The interior was minimalist and solid - similar to my 1 series and just how I like it.

I'd like to stick to a £10k budgets so I may have to go for a 10/11 model.

Thoughts? Advice? I don't know a thing about Volvo other than they're Chinese owned!

Cheers
