Advantages: quite cool

Disadvantages: it's a volvo

I currently use one of these for day to day transport. It's solid, reliable and practical.
Performance is brisk but not exactly breathtaking, and the handling seems to encourage the hooligan in me.
The jury's still out on the cars styling, is it ugly or funky? the pop up headlights make you think your in a proper sports car though.
Build quality seems better than that of ford et al but it's not exactly a mercedes. Economy seems ok but is very dependent on the weight of your right foot 25-45 mpg

Definately rate it as funky! Picking up my 480ES (H reg) in a week or two, so will write my op' then! Nice concise op you've written!

Interesting summary. I have to say I think the 480 is one of the best cars of the 1980's. It's quite different from anything else, so i would rate it as funky. If you can find a good one and really look after it, it will go on for years.
