Default New car time.....this time a Volvo!

Yep, it had to happen eventually but I'm now a Volvo owner! I did put a deposit down on an I-Pace almost a year ago however Jaguar have been frankly shocking and unless I actually start begging them to sell me a car I'm not convinced it'll happen so sadly I've asked for my deposit back as I was offered an insanely good deal on the V90. It's only the D4 R-Design however it has the pilot assist semi autonomous driving which basically drives the car for you (very wierd), auto pretty much everything and the most comfortable seats I've ever had, even more so then the 75 which had pretty nice seats.
I'm still waiting for an electric car with decent range that somebody will actually sell me but in the meantime the Volvo's a good stop gap.

Very envious! I love my 75 Tourer but I also have a 2003 V70, and it is a lovely car. If anything serious happens to either of them, I will be looking at the V90 or the XC90. Enjoy the car.

I do think Volvo are on a good run for design at the moment. I'm also very happy that I seem to be having a good run of daily drivers, the ZT-T to the Mercedes C300 and now this, maybe I've finally got the hang of this choosing cars malarky!

For the record this is now my 35th car, since I started driving!!!
