carpetstu Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Gooders had a newish volvo estate up until last week. Its now officially dead. He killed it with style despite the fleet company trying to rebuild the engine three times! Respect to the Gooders ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 QUOTE Just how many Westy owners are also Volvo drivers! Another one here! V70 D5 and very good it is too. Mid 40s mpg generally, 30ish towing. The Westy. Not a caravan. Just want to make that clear. Not as much fun as the 850 T5 I had before, but that did 23 at best and about 16 towing.

Paul Edden Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I had a 2002 V70 T5 estate - absolutely fab car except for the fuel consumption. Used to throw a party if the fuel computer thingy ever got to 25mpg. We didn't have many parties! Would have another one at the drop of a hat but would have to be the D5 - and yes, we did tow a caravan with it (when not towing the westie) and had three Standard Poodles in the back. Pass me my zimmer - I need the toliet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
