I have to say that my car choice was between three cars, ultimately:
E63 Estate (used)
M5 Touring (used)
V90 T8 (new)
I’ve detailed some of my issues with Volvo recently- one thing as didn’t mention was my (continuing) attempt to buy a V90 T8.
I spoke to their sales dept, explained that I’d want an extended test drive as a plug in hybrid would be new to me. Given that I’d just spent a couple of grand with them the sales person said he could arrange that.
Then he came back to me to say “we have to prioritise test drives and that means you could only have the test drive discussed during the week”.
We’d discussed that I wanted to drive down to my parents, check the practicalities of travelling with a plug-in hybrid etc. This doesn’t fit with mid-week.
So, I finally gave up- if Volvo treated me even slightly better I (a current Volvo owner of 10 years) would buy a new, range topping car.
But they won’t so I won’t- honestly, fuck them.
BMW or Mercedes next.
