Hmm, as I am reading this thread I begin to have som thoughts...
You can not compare the X1 with another SUV, I belive it is only the Mini Countryman that is a competitor and that is SAV... The Q5 goes against the X3 and GLK. Dont even mention the Asian cars, they do not belong here (but they are really good cars). Not the Swedish joke Volvo Xc60 either (yes I am Swedish but that car belongs in China with itīs cheap interior). Happy new year BTW |

I fully agree - Q5 faces X3, not X1.
I would not call XC60 a joke car, this is just a chineese car of a chineese brand And the only SwedCar left is Dutch-Russian-Swedish SAAB, but those guys are quite close to death, unfortunately. |

I purchased my X1 after looking at Q5, X3, GLK and Xc60. All of these cars were to big for me, the X1 suited me perfectually. I canīt in my life see how you can say that the interior is better in a Xc60 BUT... Comparing the other cars, the interior quality of the Xc60 was a big joke, hard plastic interior, the other cars had much higher quality. I donīt have anything against swedish cars, I also own a Xc90, which has a much higher interior quality than the Xc60... But, this is my own opinion, I donīt blame them who choose an Xc90. Good luck with your choices... |

I would not say it's better than Merc/BMW/Audi/Porsche/VW but probably better than the rest. Thing is Manicm, people here in Europe have a slightly different view of Volvo than in SA. I know I did. Having driven both XC60 and XC90 I can tell you that like for like it's no contest with BMW. Worst is the engines although I understand the xc90 is not too bad off road. oh and they are very expensive a s well.

Geely(Volvo's new chinese owner) bought Volvo so that they can strengthen its product's major weakness, its horrific product safety records, and having a name like Volvo as its subsidiary and sprinkled with some marketing skills, the local Chinese consumers would simply prefer Geely over other Chinese car makers. The Swedes are not losing their job to the cheap Chinese labour, yet |
