The Big Bloo Volvo did about 22mpg.

don't really need a car that big but habits die hard... we had mpv's via the wife's company car slot and when that was reclaimed by the company (cost cutting) the idea of downsizing to something else was veoted by swmbo.

Anyone want a Big Bloo Volvo 940 2 litre turbo automatic?

1 careful owner & 4 who couldn't give a toss.

Only 212,782 miles on the clock.

My first car was a 340. Very heavy and no power assisted steering.

ouch! now that has gotta hurt. bet it goes though. eh? eh? nudge nudge.

i thought the diesel would be slow and noisy but actually it goes more than enough. i should have got the 1.6 - mpg would have been high 40's. i am told there is no real loss of grunt (not sure i believe that though)

I think the 4 speed automagic geerbox lets it down a bit, and combined with the weight it doesn't have as much poke as you'd think. It's not completely sluggish though.

the big cit has an auto 6 speed. actually, it's a semi-auto. paddle shift with manual, semi and manual options.
