Padtoets: Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 Inscription

Om te streef na perfeksie

Nie te lank terug nie was Volvos gekenmerk as bokserige en oud-modiese voertuie. Iets wat nie werklik aanloklik is vir elke motoris nie.

Anatomie van ‘n supermotor

Wat gee jy vir die man wat reeds alles het? ‘n Volvo S60 T6. Hoekom? Sy BMW 3-reeks en sy Audi A4 en sy Mercedes C-klas is almal al gekaap. Die kanse dat sy Volvo gekaap gaan word, is heelwat minder. Maar die mindere kans beteken nie dat dit ‘n mindere motor is nie; inteendeel, die Sweed hang saam met die bestes uit wat kwaliteit, toerusting, verrigting en prys betref.
