Pros: German quality, good enough for that old, was very successful year as car repairs were meagre and consumption, even below 6L next year, unfortunately, clutch, camshaft, a turbine building at great cost. But for old car with these risks to be taken into account. The engine good, sufficiently powerful (74kW, 2 red TDI letters), very good jump, in winter cold engine operation in a matter of seconds. Before had Volvo commonrail was younger, it was longer to start even warmer, this really is ideal engine in this respect, and an economical as V50 2.0L diesel. Also inside luggage compartment surprisingly more than V50 estate.
Cons: Minus - on start engine is smoky and slightly stinks. Visually design could be better.
