2.0 T5 R-Design Lux Nav Geartronic Start+Stop 5dr

Reliable with really good performance but question mark over stop/start auxilliary battery

Everything you might expect from a Volvo although drive can be more exciting than you might think given the turbo power from the engine - I think the Polestar upgrade on my vehicle also helps. One major insurer actually grades it in their " sports car" category although fortunately this is not commonplace.

However the second battery which controls the stop/start mechanism appears to lose power very quickly and takes a lot of miles to re-charge. The digital readout for fuel and remaining mileage available can also be a bit confusing.

Servicing costs by a main dealer are reasonable and include roadside assistance.
