Expert Opinion
A tight budget doesn't mean you have to lack luxury. Timeless style from brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and Ford may await drivers wanting to expand their garages. These models are an exceptional experience to test-drive; many are older versions of legendary names with extraordinary benefits from well-loved model years. As a fan of older Volvo generations, having the opportunity to sit behind a 2008 Volvo XC70 and hear its 3.2-liter I-6 engine purr was a dream come true. As a gift for a graduating student, a city-friendly commuter for those about to move into San Antonio or an off-roader that you don't mind getting scratched up on the trails around San Antonio, take a good look at these models and see how their features and comfort offerings hold up.
