Volvo S40

Average. Great at absorbing the strain of long journeys, but overpriced compared to key rivals.

Volvo S40 (96-04)

Average. It's safe, well built and there are some good engines in the range. The estate has more to offer but there is more value to be found elsewhere until the new version arrives.

Volvo C70 (97-06)

Recommended. A very good-looking luxury two-door from the maker of the world's most comfortable car seats. Not the most exciting to drive, but a pleasure to sit in.

Volvo S80 (98 - 06)

Average. Big executive Swedish saloon offering the traditional brand values of size, safety and solid construction. Indifferent driving dynamics and steep depreciation the minus points.

Volvo V40

Average. It's safe, well built and there are some good engines in the range. The estate has more to offer but there is more value to be found elsewhere until the new version arrives.

Volvo V70

Recommended. The V70 not only looks good, but also goes well and has one of the best and roomiest cabins around - a private club on wheels, if you like.

Volvo S60

Recommended. The S60 provides superb comfort, a refined drive and, of course, top safety. It also looks fantastic and isn't wearing on the driver unlike some competitors.

Volvo XC90

With a nose job and some new engines the XC90's appeal to suburban housewives looks set to get even stronger.

Volvo V50

Recommended. Estate version of the S40 saloon: well designed and good to drive, but lacks the space you would expect from a Volvo estate, and it looks pricey compared to rivals.

Volvo C70

Recommended. A stylish new contender in the four-seat cabrio segment, with a graceful folding roof and laid-back on-road dynamics.

Volvo S80

Recommended. Volvo's super-sensible take on the executive saloon market - but is it good enough to challenge BMW and Mercedes?

Volvo C30

Recommended. Sweden's answer to the Audi A3. Just don't expect to get any wet Labradors in the back.
