I like these for some reason.

Mikey · 31 Dec 2010 at 16:24

We'll see what the outcome of Sunday is.

Still got the odd urge just to fix my current car and keep it going etc. The old 2011 saving ££ thinking..

Took the car for a 2 hour test drive yesterday and it doesn't have the raw get up and go of my Cupra, but it's much nicer inside.

Pretty ok P/X too

Volvo S60 T5 is a similar experience.

Not especially racy or exciting

But refined (when compared with my VXR at least), comfortable, safe and rapid if called upon.

Mikey · 3 Jan 2011 at 15:45

Pretty much why I picked it in the end

Mikey · 9 Jan 2011 at 19:06

Well I collected it yesterday and it's very nice. Few issues to sort out, but very nice

No pics yet as :

a) totally forgot
b) been RC Racing (Durango) and it's now dark.

you bought the one listed @ imperial cars or from the volvo dealer?

Mikey · 10 Jan 2011 at 07:43

Volvo. Wouldn't touch imperial with a barge pole

scousegit · 10 Jan 2011 at 08:47

good man, I went to imperial the other day and just got the impression of them being complete jokers, and out to rip me off.

Only went to them to tyre kick the car to determine whether I wanted to do a 100+ mile trip to the one at Volvo.

Yup gave me ONE junction of the M27 to try.. Errr thanks, oh and the cars a mess for £15k! Why isn't it at Volvo, because it woundn't meet the required standard!

Oh and then some idoit in his 205 GTi beaned it off the lights and the sales guy then said, oh that's Dan our marketing guy. Errr yeah real good advertisement for the company... Oh just go bust would you..

Same here on the test drive, dealt with some muppet called Richard.

Test drove a passat that didnt looked like it had been well prepared and I could tell they had it for a while, the clock was forward one hour lol.

Mikey · 10 Jan 2011 at 09:03

When I said the car wasn't right, he said what else can we get you. Err no thanks, see you later!

scousegit · 10 Jan 2011 at 09:07

muppets tried flogging one of there warranties when they were going through there options, said o I can do you our 3 year deal for the price of one. I said how much is your one year normally - £999.00 haha, nearly fell over when he said this.

avoid this firm people
