Introduction
If You Appreciate The Quality Of A Volvo Estate But Want One In A More Manageable Package, The Latest V50 Is The Perfect Answer. June Neary Tries It Out

Will It Suit Me?
There's a lot to like about Volvo estates. They have a reputation for excellent durability, they give off an image of refined practicality and they aren't too flashy. The latest V50 model has taken over from the V40 model and is a quantum leap forward over its rugged but rather unsophisticated predecessor. Small estates like this have traditionally had a hard time finding favour with British customers and the rise in popularity of MPV people carrier style vehicles means that Volvo may still have its work cut out even with a product as good as the V50. It's a sweetly styled thing, looking much like a V70 that's been treated to a hot wash. Some of the detailing around the car has obviously had a great deal of time and effort lavished on it. I think the V50 will suit me very well.

Peter Sullivan - 2012 Volvo V50 DrivE
I love the car except for one thing…….fuel consumption. When I was choosing a new car I did my research and found the V50 Diesel. The claim was that the car would give me something between 60-80 mpg...
