    I drove a 2015 S60 turbo a while ago. It was a rocket. Cost a bit more than $7k though.

    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    All highly enlightening
    thanks chaps.

    199p Might be right that it's cheaper to get something down from wellington than buy here.

    They're arguably worse than the Ovlov

    I have driven 3 Mondeos as company cars. Block was sound just everything bolted to it was crap. Had so many water problems. Blew the tranny on one coming out of the Riverhead forest after a NZDS shoot.
    Mrs wanted another car end of last year and wanted a Atenza. Just another Mondeo so no chance of that. I wanted to get a Audi A3 but she said no as repair costs as bad as Tommy said. Same went for the Volvo A40 and Subis.
    Ended up with an 06 Toyota Caldina with 76k on the clock just over $9000. Only 1800cc but goes well at 8.5l/100km

    My wife had a VW Golf for 7 yrs did 50 k and apart from shitting a valve in the gearbox the day I bought it with 17 k on it, which the car sales replaced, about $4k, I think I spent about a grand on it over those 50 KS, thermostats on the cooling system shit themselves, so I couldn't complain
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    5 grand of repair bills in 70k is way too much, we have a daihatsu and after 100k it needed 4 tyres, thats it.

    Agree 100%, very happy with mine.

    The 3.0 also have a surprising tow rating for a sedan
