Dear forum, we’re driving a Volvo 850 at the moment. Good car, great trunk, but the engine will probably soon make the Grätsche. Now we’re looking for a successor and I’ve read a lot here in the forum, but I’m still not really smart. We drive 10,000 km/year and need plenty of trunk space because of and dog and child luggage. Budget: 5,000 – 15,000 euros. I’m independent and could buy the car as a business car as well, as the professional rides lock This is why we tried the Octavia the other day, because the new one almost fits into the budget. However, I didn’t agree to the driving feeling. The steering wheel behaves like in a small car. Then I drove the V70II from a colleague (with 590,000km on the speedometer). I liked it very much. And we also tested a new V70III, was also good, but new of course too expensive. So the tendency is clearly back to Volvo, but I let myself be a you like to teach a better one. To V70II and V70III one hears different, which is better – in the sense of durability and longevity. Does it make more sense a newer car with less km, for that expensive to fetch or an older, much km, cheap for it? In the end we are looking for a good, reliable car, which does not cost much in the overall view. What do you think? I would be very grateful for Input Hannes
