Bought a Volvo V40 (V reg, 1999) due to starting the job and it turns out to be THE most comfortable car I've ever owned! So smooth so comfortable has tape AND CD player 73K on the clock loooooooooooads of service history, OK it has a couple of small issues but the ride and feel of it, even in corners, for a long fairly heavy car its so good!
Downside is its a 1.6, its too heavy for a 1.6 engine in my opinion but its pulls OK.
Not bad for £230!
Welcome to the land of large barge motoring, my saab 9-5 is also mega comfortable and very planted. 1.6 sucks next time look for a saab like a real man you giant hairy ladies part
Volvo ftw
TBH I needed to buy a car asap and this was cheap and ready to drive away, I do quite like Saab's too!Quote:

Looking at parkers your car only does 7 mpg more then the t5 cars lol
Looks clean I like it
According to whatever I read (may have been parkers) it'll do 36mpg.Quote:

Some scuffs here and there and the rust (common places are front wings and rear arches as pictured) might replace the front wings as I think this one is a keeper! Clutch peddle is fairly stiff too which is strange.Quote:

Good riddance, Hyundai Accents are an eyesore and need to be destroyed. Each and e very one of them.Quote:
