My third car in NZ

Volvo 760 GLE
My third car was a Volvo (760GLE). The Merc was just too old and did not have the power required to tow the new 22-foot yacht, a Noelex 22 at 760 kg which weighs slightly more than the 19 foot Kestrel. This Volvo was very quiet. On long trips, I can hear only the wind brushing past the mirrors and some noise from the tyres. In NZ the roads are chip seals, very rough surface but great road holding properties.
