Taxman will love it too - CO2 is 322g/km but mpg is relatively good at 20.9mpg!

I read this too - remember Clarkson already owns an XC90! I had an XC90 and couldn't wait to get rid of it! Given the choice between the D3 and XC90 (because of the 7 seats) I would always take the D3. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I'm with you there VA I had an XC90 a few years ago & it was the biggest heap of S***e I ever owned. Sold it back to the dealer for a loss, less than a year after I got it, just to get rid of it. First time I strayed from Land Rover since 1993 & most certainly my last

You lasted a year - I only managed 6 months! Plus the Volvo forum is a bit dull! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

, loathsome car, feels like the engine is labouring all the time and its noisey | Rupert Member Since: 13 Mar 2006 Location: Here !!! Posts: 1194

It wasn’t so much the engine labouring, but more all the bits that fell off it. The fact that it wouldn’t drive down the road in a straight line. The twanging & banging out of the front suspension, the scuttle in the steering if you encountered “mid bend bumps” something we have a lot of here in Ireland. Then when I rid myself of it, after less than a year, the tyre wear was spectacular !!! With the front drivers side tyre worn on the inside, the two rear tyres worn on the outside & the front passenger side tyre showing a perfect wear pattern.
Oh & by the way the crummy dealership…..”It’s the first time we’ve come across these problems, never seen it before” .......what a load of absolute tripe 
This despite the fact that on one of the many occasions the car was at the dealership, I got their demo XC90 as a loaner & it exhibited pretty much all the same suspension / steering issues as my own 
(Ok rant over, I’ll go back to bed now I think) |

It reminds me of one of the great letters from VIZ, "Sir i must write to tell you about a Pub quiz i entered, when asked "what C do you associate Jeremy Clarkson with", i was immediately chucked out, apparently the right answer was Car |
