Brand-wide ownership notes
Volvo of this period built solid, comfortable cars with excellent seats and a body that lasts. The engines split the range: the in-house five-cylinder diesels are strong and long-lived, while the smaller four-cylinder units are Ford-derived and bring that family's fuel-system habits with them. Specialists are thinner on the ground than for the German makes, so a dealer bill arrives more often than you'd like.
Chassis
| Chassis | Body | Years | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| P3 | wagon | 2007–2016 | A big, comfortable, safe estate with the best seats in this database, and running costs that depend entirely on which engine is under the bonnet. |
| P3 | sedan | 2010–2018 | The saloon version of the same car, better looking and considerably less useful, which is why it sells for less. |
| DZ | SUV | 2008–2017 | A comfortable, quiet SUV on the same platform as the V70 and S60, and one of the safest cars of its era. It's softer than the German rivals and better for it on a bad road. |
