Coming from 3 very small beasts, in order of Nissan Micra, Toyota Yaris and Chevrolet Kalos, we've upgraded. Not only have we got a nicely kitted out machine, we're saving the world at the same time: Sweden unlike most of Europe is quite energy efficient. Our car is a 1.8F or flexifuel. It means we can fill up with petrol or ethanol, the later is a more sustainable, albeit less efficient fuel. Apparently we can do roughly 20% less on a tank of ethanol (you can mix the two in whatever quantities also), where ethanol itself costs over 30% less than regular petrol. You do the maths.
p.s. Volvo call it saville grey, i.e. not black not grey, lets call it a light shade of black : )
p.p.s. We can have conversations in the car without shouting too (not because we get mad in small cars) because the in car noise is a lot quieter!
