Volvo S40/V40 CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU A Volvo, but not as we knew them. The 2000 model year update gets re-worked engines, an improved ride, and more safety equipment. V40 estate is lovely Our choice: V40 2.0T better value than the T4, looks good, and goes well enough #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBs

VW Sharan CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU Still the MPV benchmark, despite the imitators. Big, easy to live with, and has all the other Sharalaxy virtues. Our choice: VR6 is sports-car quick, TDI 110 is lively but wallet-friendly. Or go for a Galaxy if the Ford dealer's nearer #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBs

VW Passat CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU The new Audi A6-based Passat is a revelation, bringing exec-car values to the affordable mainstream. It's built like an Audi A6, similar to drive, costs less Our choice: S 1.8 20v or TDI 110 for the real world, V6 Syncro for exec games #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBs

VW Beetle CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU A miracle of metal-bending and platform-sharing technology. Fun, but entirely usable as an everyday car, though geared a little low for the motorway. First batch LHD. First year's RHD cars sold out Our choice: We'd wait for a RHD model #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBs

VW Bora CAR magazine 1999 #OldCarGBU It exists because the booted Golf is what sells in the US. Extra torsional rigidity, but after the problems with the Jetta and Vento, it's hard to see the Bora catching on in the UK Our choice: S TDI, but SEAT Toledo prettier and cheaper #CarBluesky #WeirdCarBs
