WTF! this car was not designed my mercedes, it was designed by stephen harper. Who has never worked for mercedes! get you facts right, this review is really really poor!
This is a car you buy for reliablity and style. It's good looking and it isnt a BMW.
I have the 2.0d S40 and whilst is is very boring to drive. It DOES have nimble handling but the diesel engine does kill all the fun.
Sure it pulls like a bitch at low RPM but when you're used to vtec petrol engines you simply cannot get satisfaction from changing up at 3k rpm instead of 8k
@Armen8806... It's is NOT that economical because of the weight it carries around. It's a heavy car. And yes, I know its safe. There is no false information in this video... this is based on experience. And as far as the Ferrari goes... I've driven all kinds of cars... including Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's... you name it. This is what my experience tell me. But I appreciate you comment non the less.
Thank you for everyone's comments... 'preciate them! I know some of you guys are hating the fact that I'm bringing shame to this car... I can understand that. But... there are "two" sides to this video, one side shows good bits about the car... and the other bit shows things that caters for people who don't like Volvo's. I catered for everyone in this video... and yes... this "IS" one of my cars and I do like it. However, it's not as economical as people may think... being a diesel!
WTF poor review and its not a SE LUX cos that has a satnav built in..thats an SE with option extras..ie the leather seats.. gotta laugh at the "not haiving an active lifesy;e if u have a volvo.. guees that cars not urs then...
hmmm puzzled about his review nothing he said was woth listneing to a 5 yr old could do better..fwd bad handling on british roads.. nothing wrong with diesel and there better on milage and todays cars put a TD up against a petrol there not much differance so as for spoilng ur fun.. well anway oh and i dont think that was a se lux eitheras it didnt have the built in satnav as thts standard on the lux or the wooden interior just an SE with optional extras..
bullshit! You do have an active livestyle when you own a V50! you are quite lazy when you drive big fat Mercedes! It's then you do not have a active livestyle! And, Mercedes, designed the V50? Iven moor bullshit! Life is NEVER boring in a Volvo! Here is an advice.. Get a new job!
It's NOT a racing car you dweeb , its a safe practical family car, and being a volvo ...it will outlast any little tinny pocketrocket hatchback that little boyracers like you would drive.one word dude ...Hayabusa. see ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, first it's NOT a boring car! Clearly underrated. And second try the D5 with 185hp and 400Nm, that should shut you up. I drive one and smoke german estates that are supposed to be a lot faster....
just got my wife a d2 r design, its superb, i got a c 30 t5 se sport, thats entertainment. this guy doesnt know a good car......
