Mike T Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Actually the massive Volvo XC90 B5 mild hybrid was a vehicle that impressed us in many ways. And it only drank 1.6 L/100 km more than the 508. The Volvo's not my preferred style though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Erratum: the battery in the 508 is 11.8 kWh, not 17.8 kWh. Still, the Autobahn recharge is more expensive than gasoline.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted April 9 Author Report Share Posted April 9 Popped back over to the UK for a two week visit until April 5th. This time we rented this 2008-based Vauxhall Crossland. Not very impressive to drive, barely more economical than the Volvo XC90 we drove there last year, despite its puny 1.2 3 cylinder engine, and the suspension was nasty.....which coincides with what a friend who rented a 2008 in Britain last year concluded. Here in the Cheviot hills, crossing into England from Scotland, on a B-road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRDT Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 The old PF1 platform is probably a bit stretched here. It is also on its last leg, at least for the european market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
