You poor man.
I can handle a quick trip to the shop in it if I crouch real low behind the steering wheel.

To be honest unless she is 17 insurance is never going to be much more than £190 whatever she drives, surely. I'm quite a lot younger than you and I only pay slightly more than that for my F10 530d. Once you get above about 26ish, pretty much everything is cheap to insure and insurance ceases to play any real part in car selection?

Also with lease if you get the right leasing company you can get everything included, tyres, servicing, tax! everything!

My V40 R-Design, couldn't be happier with it so far (and my wife 307 1.4HDI sneaking in the background):

Well I'm 5'8" and get in and out without any problems. The seats are some of the most confortable seats I've sat on in any car.
Mine is the new D4 and it certainly shifts, 135+mph is not out of the question. Even the D2 will do 110+ no problem. The T5 petrol is great fun and they now offer a Polestar remap/upgrade as well. I'm just hoping they bring the Polestar option to the diesels
It had to be the Rebel Blue. I looked at all the other colours and I just couldn't go with anything else. Although I have to say that on any other Volvo model, I don't like the Rebel Blue but for some reason it just looks good on the V40.

I've traded in my man parts for a vagina. That said, getting 75mpg (we do huge miles), it's got everything bar leather seats (sat nav, Bluetooth, air con, cruise control etc), it's hellishly slow however and the 1.5dci is not the most refined engine but it was dirt cheap, came with a decent manufacturer backed warranty and European breakdown cover (which was costing me a fiver a month elsewhere), so, get with the insults!
How does it feel when n-tec kicks in, yo?
Edit: whilst I wouldn't get one myself that Volvo looks nice.

Not everyone's cup o' tea but Volvo certainly aren't the farmer giles/old man and german shepherds in the back battletanks they once were.

Cleaning black cars in the sun isn't fun, but it's worth the effort.

Lovely looking Accord.
Yes but it's not free, you are paying for all that through a higher lease cost. Maintenance on a lease costs money, they don't give away free tyres for the lolz.
