I'm sorry for another car thread.

first car was a 1969 MGB GT in grey with a tudor sunroof (reg GFB 798G - how sad is that!) current car is a Volvo V70 which I change every 5 months. favourite car was a Jag XJ6 which the Mrs and kids loved. Most fun was a Vauxhall Carlton 3.0 GSi 24V which was fast as a ferret but looked like a saloon. Also liked the Chrysler 300C which I got when they first came out..........bugger, you shouldn't have got me started!!

I'm self employed and am running an A6 at the mo. I had a V70 new in 2003 and had it longer than any other car in my 25 years of driving.
My A6 is being sold to a mate in October and I was thinking of going back to the V70. What's your opinion of this model?

The new shape v70 isn't as good as the older shape one. Not as reliable. I work on them everyday and the build quality has dropped a fair bit due to the ford influence.

If you're not bothered about the back seats, I'd go for the Alfa Romeo Brera or Nissan 350z.

Bugger :-(

There are people on here who would hang you for saying that Ford's are poorly built and unreliable
