Professionally and personally I tend to mostly like, sometimes love, and occasionally loathe the things that car companies say and do. But with Volvo it\u2019s a genuine case of all three.<\/p>\n

First, the bits I like most: I\u2019ve driven combustion-engined Volvos on frozen lakes in Sweden, the forests of Finland and some of the hottest and coldest tracks and trails in Canada and the USA \u2013 all with 100 per cent reliability (apart from a rear light failure) and satisfaction, ta very much.<\/p>\n
