Re: Snows Volvo Southampton

It really is a lottery as far as dealers are concerned. I stuck with my original dealer who are about an hour's drive away even though I've got two others who are much nearer. It seems that even though some manufacturers say they want to know about customer's experience via surveys etc. they don't s...

I think I'm going to keep my 10 year old Audi TT a little while longer to remind me what a car should be! :D
