My Q5 written off!

After Ford bought Volvo most of them have been re-badged Fords. This means that they are still really good, but the old days of them being safer than anything else have gone. Now that Volvo is a Chinese company we will have to wait and see if the Chinese want to up the game again.

Just because a company buys another one does not mean the standards drop.

Maybe just get a cheaper Q5?

The Fortuna is a farm bakkie with the back closed off. It had its own safety issues and is like #1 theft target in SA. I'd avoid it at all costs.

No it's not. It's actually BMW 3 series. Proof me wrong with any credible source with facts stating that's not.
 
He was referring to the theft target statement. Hilux, Fortuner, 3-Series, Polo's, Corolla's, those are the high risk cars if I remember correctly.
 
But wait, would that include the new F30 3-series? You can get a very good demo or used one for under 400k, but if that model too is high risk, then I' be shocked...

The premium cars tend to get hijacked rather than stolen afaik...much easier to point a gun at someone than deal with a complicated alarm. (Though obviously tracker etc).
