We decided sudenly that we wanted to replace the wifes 05 focus 5 door, whit something a little more modern....

this is what we replaced it whit









A Volvo V40 2013 D2 Momentum whit a bunch of extras
It's not the fastest one, beeing the 1.6 diesel whit 115 hp, but it's good enough and it's so sporty, it's based on the same platform as the new focus, only instead of steel knuckles and wishbones, it has aluminium once, so it's lighter, and more agile realy love driving it. do wish we could aford a bigger engien. but in norway power cost so mutch it's not even funny

What do you think??

She will have to learn to pull out in front of car on roundabouts, change lanes without indicating on motorways and hog lane 3, oblivious to the queue of traffic behind her.
There is a special High Way Code for Volvo drivers

My Mum had a 245 I think it was estate for towing the horse box, years ago. She has a Disco now I think.
Only Volvo I have ever driven.
I expect when I get old, forgetful, eye sight gone and lost all judgement of distance and speed, I will buy one.
Thats when people normally buy them

then its a good thing that the new once do everything for you they keep you uin the lane, stop you from running into people and cars, warn you if somone overtakes you, and tels you to take a brake if you get tierd

You should realy try obne of the newer once... the 245 was a good car in its day, and stil is better then many cars today, not that many thoug but stil its old, you should try the new S60 or a C30, you know the C30 T5 is the ecsact same car as the focus ST225, only whit better sound proofing ford lifted the engien in both the ST and the RS out of the C30 (that engien is awailale in almost all volvo models) so you get the same sound, and the same power.. the focus even shares its basic platform whit running gear and suspension whit the c30, c70, s40 and v50...

Try one, you'l be plesently supriced
