you've bought a Volvo estate! T5 though so it's not all bad. Gotta say the build quality is awesome though, even at 150k miles, mpg sucks.

Probably the oldest G driver in the Universe.

Bet you'll drive it like the G; so no licence by Easter.

...When you worry about MPG all the time.
When I were a lad I didn't give a damn how much Vpower go go juice I used or wasted even if commuting every day, as long as I had fun driving. Nowadays the 'fun' car has to be a weekend warrior.

I haven't driven the polo for 2 years now. Been driving an E30 and an E36 since so i needed some speed back in my life, and somewhere for the dog and the bike rack.

Haha, another Volvo owner! Welcome to being old
Mine is an s60 d5. Not so good on fuel as my passat tdi was but it's faster and nicer

I gotta say it's shocking that even though it's done 150k miles and is 10 years old it's quieter and smoother than some E60 BMs i've driven that are virtually new.
Gonna get it remapped soon, 300 horse and shit loads of torque here i come!
