I would not have said a Volvo V70 looks like a hearse. But as we are on Volvo number 11, we are a bit biased!
The older Volvos were more boxy, but hearse-like? Noooo.
I know...I like them, but for some reason Mrs M is repsuled by them! Doesn't make sense to me.
Well, thanks all for your input...and I'm pleased to say I've gone and made a decision, and paid a deposit on a car I'm picking up this Thursday. I went petrol after considering the fact that it was over £1500 cheaper than lower spec'd diesel models, and the dealer is taking both my C4 and my old Skyline in p/ex leaving me an affordable amount to pay. The car is a silver Merc C180 Kompressor sport estate, with the auto tiptronic box, on an 05 plate, with black leather interior, full merc s/h, the roof rails....everything I wanted. My Thule roofbox will go atop nicely, and all I need is the towbar for the trailer. I'm happy!
Will no doubt post pictures of it over-filled with camping gear at some point!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
