Volvo S80 2006
.jpg)
Alternative to Mercedes E-Class for big, prestigious five-seater 'private hire' operators and owners simply wanting a big, safe, solid car. Much improved -
Volvo S80 1998
Distinctive good looks and a decent drive. A plush, refined, comfortable alternative to German executive cars.
