The other two are good cars, but it will all ways be the Volvo for me. She is awesome. The seats are to die for and the looks. They have come into their own. Volvo rocks😊.

    I have a v8 back home in Australia, but would have handed it over to kept that Volvo. I loved it. Had a tear in my eye when i handed it back. We had great adventures and became friends. Glad to see I'm not the only one to bond with a Volvo 😂❤

Now that I've become a true car guy and appreciate all cars, that Volvo is just stunning. Inside and out. That's my pick. After that, I'm not sure. I like the Mercedes interior, and the BMWs exterior.

    Good test.
    I bought the e estate myself and it's almost identical to this one.
    I also optioned the two rear facing xtra seats in the boot which gives it so much more flexibility on the school run, I don't think BMW or Volvo do that.
    Great all rounder, wonderful over long distance, have done 600 miles in one day and it's great.
    Only real disappointment is that it has so far over 20k miles only averaged 42mpg which is almost identical to what my 04 2.7 merc CLK averages!! Thought it might be better:/

    I've had two 5s which I quite liked, then an E-class which while great to drive, the command system is a nightmare which after two years I was glad to see the back of. Have had a V90 for two months and it is the best of the three by a country mile. The interior is fabulous and the ride/handling way better than anything comparable. Engine the weakest of the three is a bit rattly at low speed. Kit is amazing. Boot has this flap device thing that when folded up secures numerous bags of shopping...Pilot assist/ACC is epic..thr app will do everything remotely and download business miles as an esv file etc..But bottom line is used V90 is several £1000 cheaper...

    Yeah, i bought a c220d amg line with premium plus pack, keyless go, and panoramic sunroof (see bob flavin review)... it was totally the right decision; drove waaay better than equivalent bmw, despite what people might try to say who havent experienced both cars... in the trim i went for and tinted windows it looks way better than v90. The infotainment is really easy and intuitive to use after spending a day with it.. on eco mode im averaging 46mpg URBAN! Stick it in sport+ now and ive managed 0-62 in 7 seconds... mid range (overtaking) acceleration is insane for such a big car and potentially frugal engine. Seriously impressive all-rounder.

    Matt, with all due respect and this is the second time i am mentioning this, you are not right
    on the touch pad controller, you do not need to angle your arm or hand you can rest
    it on the touch pad and when it notices your arm / hand resting on it, locks
    the touch pad and you can use the controller with no issue at all. In addition you have the voice activation
    system which I must say is definitely getting better and better. I have 5 - 6 Mercedes and all with the touch
    pad and all current models so I am aware of how it works.

    I think that delay is there for a reason. It is a safety feature :) If I am not mistaken, VW also had it on their Golf's at some point. You had to press the pedal a second time in order to get a kickdown - in case you fell asleep or something.

  • @marcabaa3983
    @marcabaa3983 4 года назад +4

    Maybe the volvo gearbox is a bit slower to respond on everyday cars but I think it might be a good thing. If you not having a race car you really dont need a super kickdown gearbox. Its Quick enough. And because it slower it is smother and not a instant pressure on the gearbox which make them last incredible long. Many cars need to change their gearbox after a time, but I know lots of volvo cars that have driven over 400 000 km (216 000 miles)
    Of course other cars can go that long with the same gearbox but I feel its more common for volvo. Mercedes is also long lasting cars althoug have falled back a little the past decade.

    this is a bit offtopic, but I thought I need to ask someone about buying a car.
    I was looking to buy a used car from this german online platform. I found one and the price is very low with few kms on the dash
    The seller says that the engine was replaced by maker when it had 100K and that this can be proved.
    What kind of situations would require the engine change?
    Also, if this engine is brand new, should it increase the value of the car OR should I treat it as a 100K car?
    I mean, when I look to compare this car to other similar make&model, should I compare it with cars that have over 100K (as the old engine had) OR cars that have as much as the new engine on this one has?
    Hope this makes sense.
