I remember Jimmy having exactly the same problem trying to fit 3 kids in the back of an estate car. His solution (divorce) was a bit drastic, mind you.

Been bored, Rich? 😂

I think I’ve found the target market for the Dacia Jogger!
How about not having a sig at all?

The Civic Type S guy is a 20 year old stereotype. Never let it die, Rich 😄

I recently found out from my sister that her XC60 is actually this one - the T8 model.

More money than sense

I’m glad the V90 is back. It’s a great car.

I’m glad it’s back, but it’s nice looking and easy to live with but sadly quite forgettable.

Their estate styling has been really good for a while now, but I had heard that the driving experience is pretty poor by comparison. But does that matter to anyone who's in the market for one?
Cheers,

I had a V90 for two years. It was nice. I don't miss it or remember it fondly. I wouldn't have another. So I guess it does matter because I've had one before so I must be the target market.

The V60 we hired last year in Sweden was a reasonably decent steer I felt. Not the most dynamic but for day to day driving it felt very similar to my E91. There was a heft and solidity to it that I've found lacking in a lot of more modern stuff, including BMWs, and it was supremely confortable. If the E91 died tomorrow and I needed a daily hack with space I'd certainly be looking at a V60.
