Depreciation will be massive and consumption awful (23mpg mixed) but probably decent enough to drive

Auto Trader Verdict:
Fast estates are as beguiling an idea now as they were when Volvo entered an 850 Estate into the cut and thrust of the British Touring Car championships a decade ago. The limited-edition V60 Polestar is a fine example of the breed, with tonnes of kit, a thumpingly fast engine and fantastic looks. Despite all these abilities, it is flawed, and you’d have to mentally forgive it for quite a lot before choosing one over one of its more obvious Germanic rivals. Even so, it’s charming enough that you just might.
A lot of the reviews however are based on the ~50k RRP which is the main criticism posed against it. Would have thought they've already taken the main hit of depreciation if low £30s with only a dw k miles and given so few in the country might actually hold value better in long run than say a 340i?
