Hello together After having been a quiet reader for quite a while now, I would like to contact you directly with my request. In search of a reliable durable station wagon you can hardly get past the good Volvos, especially because I am looking for something long-lasting with the also more than 200 tkm in it. Business I drive the XC70 D4 AWD. I have now fallen in love with the typical Volvo Haptik in addition to the reliability. But because this is too big for my everyday life I have looked at the V50 a bit more closely. I also like it very well optically and fits better, not to say, in my budget at all. After a long research here in the forum I was able to answer some questions myself and after 2 test drives I am now also sure that it should become a V50. The 2.0 machine with 145 hp and the 2.4i 5 zyl come into question. I first thought about a diesel, but in Switzerland this would probably not be worthwhile. Apart from the fact that my future everyday car will probably also be moved at very different distances, with often also short distances. I would not call myself a racing driver now even if I like to give gas from time to time. But for me a quiet relaxed cruising on the motorway (Switzerland) is more important at max. 130 to 140km/h. If the consumption then still keeps within limits (8-9l) I am happy. During my test drive yesterday in a 2.0er I am al I am aware that the missing 6th gear has a big influence. But as a layman I guess that constantly such speeds are not so good for the longevity of the engine, or am I there on the wooden track? Will the days at least be another 2.4i test drive to see how this drives in comparison. As far as consumption is concerned, I read here in the Foru My car driver’s heart wishes the 5 cyl. reason but rather the 2.0. Since I regularly travel longer highway routes I would like to know what it looks like with the consumption for the above mentioned cruising speeds over a longer period of time. Look forward to your input. Greetings
