Space...... With Pace

[RichardMoss]

10 years ago I had a second generation Plymouth (Chrysler) Grand Voyager 3.3L - V6, 4 speed auto, cruise, twin aircon, great visibility, 7 seats and a very comfortable ride. 500 miles in a day was easily manageable, especially after I fitted a telly and VHS player to keep the kids amused.

 

Also very reliable and easy to work on (apart from rear bank spark plug changes and serpentine belt replacement)

 

I now have a 4th generation one which is even more brilliant thanks to better seats and better aircon. The only real downside is the fuel consumption but at 28p/l I can live with that. I much prefer it to my Jag S-type for long trips

What about one of these? They come in V6 flavor don't they

 

 

A quick look at the auto trader

ive owned a sintra v6 for 2 years now, and it never wanted for anything, it has had dogs abuse as a van, a tow car,  running the kids about. and has a lot of grunt (200hp)

 

the hardest thing about owning one, is trying to explain to people what it is. most people assume it is a zafira!

 

look at the size difference!

 

 

i know sintra has a bad rap, but for the 900quid i bought it for, i've have no complaints

[Sloth in a bowl]

Surely what you need is a V8 powered Volvo XC90? 7 seats and 315hp

Isn't that sort of missing the point of a V8 ?

I think the only reason they had such a bad was the fact they were horrible to drive (it's an MPV made in the 90's by GM. What do you expect?) and the fact they try to kill you in a crash. Don't crash it into a deformable barrier at 40mph, and you'll be fine.

Indeed, the only safe shite is Volvo-Shite

I so hope that's tongue deeply, deeply embedded in cheek.

Yeh , some Saab owners may quibble about that too.

not really - unless its a myth i've not heard debunked yet. volvos are tough as old boots. they invented SRS, the 3 point seat belt.

Do you all really hate Vauxhall that much?
