Volvo V50 DRIVe : Car Review

[@MrSeraph333]

there is a mistake in the review, the navigation can also be controlled on the steering wheel, there are 2 button and and a joystick behind it...

[@jl3nnox]

I've got the 2 litre turbo diesel. A bit unrefined but really pulls when you put your foot down. I love the V50

[@bogdanforsea6222]

Awsome car! It's fancy, fast and impressive! I own a V50 - 2.0D / 136PS and it really goes incredibly fast for a turbo-diesel. Around 350.000 km without any problem at the engine, gearbox , turbo or other expensive components. I recommend it, if you can buy it new, or from a trustful person.

[@NEWCARNET]

We really liked this car. A great blend of practicality and style.

Kinda looking at one with 223tkm for 1400€ which is a steal. But somethig is fishy :D

[@laciihasz4734]

@@xPentag0n It's probably cheap cos of the high milage? I am looking at one for £4000, 10yrs old 160000km.

[@xPentag0n]

@@laciihasz4734Could be. Others are more around 2,5-3k€. Which is still cheap compared to Golf 4 Wagons 😄

@@xPentag0n Golfs are massively overpriced, shouldn't compare them to any other cars.

Anybody knows what mileages achieve those Ford petrol engines used in Volvo V50/S40 and Focus II, with 1.8 liter and 125HP??

[@xPentag0n]

I'm also looking at a cheap one with 123tkm...

best ever volvo

[@99ron30]

They are a nice car, part Ford Focus, Part Volvo. The seats are very comfortable, the audio system is good, the manual gearbox is slick, the ride quality is good. But the early models with 1.6 Peugeot Diesel engine have problems with the Eolys liquid additive based DPF and sensors, needs Eolys fluid system replacing or topping up every 60,000 miles. The later models had better normal DPF. Best to get a petrol model.

[@TheJiri7777]

does the 1.6d 115hp engine have a turbo ??

[@vwduiven3072]

[@Charlienator3000]

My v70 has over 200,000 miles and not a thing wrong with it. If you get a Volvo, get a Volvo, not a Volvo ford.

Next time, don't buy a diesel or any modern diesel.

[@Cloud007.]

great advice. not. what a rubbish blanket statement.

[@zenshy2139]

​​​@@Cloud007.Modern diesels have particulate filters and EGR system which has to be replaced every 120 000 km. It costs 1500-2000€ so around 250-330€ every year. Diesel doesn't seem to make sense for smaller cars but vans and pick up trucks which need the power and fuel efficiency.
