Wed 07 Jul 2007Solid, stolid, SwedishSecondHandSense: Volvo V70 estateReporting on the launch of the latest Volvo V70 estate recently, I was reminded to comment on how slowly Volvo estates change and that many older models resemble breeze blocks on wheels.The Volvo estate is exactly that - a big, boxy car that will take the kitchen sink and not just a re-working of a car design. Volvo owners tend not to be all that fashion-conscious. They are more interested in a car that is safe, solid and reliable and the relationship tends to be a long and loyal one.
