It's an attractively styled saloon, but the S40's drive will do very little to spice up your life
A great idea, but poorly executed, Volvo's C30 should be far better than it actually is
The V50's once impressive characteristics have dulled over time as its rivals have raised the bar
A strong contender in a competitive class - great looks and dynamics, plus a fine interior
The S80, Volvo’s attempt to break into the executive saloon market, meets with only limited success
Refined and supremely comfortable, is a worthy rival for Land Rover's class leading Freelander

V60 2.4 D5 ES is a good start, but a snappier engine and two-wheel drive will unleash its potential
Volvo's coupe-convertible has stylish looks, but it offers a disappointingly lifeless drive
The XC70 is the third incarnation of Volvo's popular off-road estate car
Volvo's XC90 is in need of modernisation, which is mainly evident in its chassis and engine range
(94-97)
For the most part a sensible Swedish estate, except for the fire-breathing T5 and R versions.
