The Volvo Estate has cast aside its boring image - by being voted the best car for having sex in the back seat.

It turns out the car has actually seen more action than any other - largely thanks to the extra space, according to a new survey.

According the pollsters, some 68% of people have had sex in a car, and six per cent said they had damaged their vehicles while getting busy.

A yesinsurance.co.uk spokesman said: "It would seem that space is the most important issue for couples who want to enjoy themselves."

Meanwhile, another survey found that more than a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead.
