Auto Express Tests New 2018 Volvo V60

July 25, 2018 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

The Volvo V60 has long been quite a good ‘Q’ car.  It is understated but efficient, smooth and comfortable.  Can the new estate car (saloon to follow) better the outgoing model by improving on weaker areas?  Will it be premium enough to take sales from the likes of BMW or Audi?  Watch the video from […]

April 17, 2018 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Now look – we at Car Articles understand the appeal of the SUV.  An imposing road presence, the imperious driving position and (sometimes) greater visibility all mean good things.  That said, do you really want all of that extra additional weight to lug around?  Or the rolling in the corners brought on by a car […]

December 20, 2017 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Updated Volvo V60 & S60 Polestar

August 30, 2017 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Look at these two cars.  The S60 and V60 might well be some of the best ‘Q’ cars on the market.  Fettled by the performance division of Volvo – Polestar – either car will be just at home taking the kids to school or smashing the nearest track day.  The cars shown are the Model […]

Polestar Pushes Volvo S60 As Far As Possible

May 27, 2017 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

This short video is well worth a watch. In it, you’ll see how the Volvo S60 was pushed to the ragged edge of performance at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The Volvo XC60 as most people know it has been around for nine years now.  Interestingly, it has sold in increasing numbers, to the point where the previous year it sold more than it had at any other point. What do we take from that? Quite simply that as reviews have gotten around and people […]
