What's your opinion of Volvo?

Newbreak · #1 (**permalink**) 11-05-2009, 09:41 PM

I'm thinking of purchasing an S40 soon and I'd like some input. I think the S40 is a clean and sporty automobile, but a lot of my friends and family say it's an old persons car. I don't know how why this is, I know they are supposedly the safest cars on the road, but safe doesn't have to mean boring. Whats boring a turbo charged AWD car?

Volvo are solid cars, that can go forever. However, parts are expensive

I'm not a car person, but I do know that Volvos are really reliable, well made cars, but if something does go wrong they are very expensive to fix. I would only buy one with low miles and no known problems.

mid-late 90's models had a brake system problem, they were factory recalled. make sure that the one youre looking at was recalled if its one of the affected years.

Not a fan of the brand. Fine cars though.

AKAIK they make quality autos.

Who makes Volvo, anyway? The Swiss?

sweden/ford owns them currently.

Volvo's are legit. They're considered luxury cars, since the interiors are mostly all leather. My friend has one and drifts and what not with it. And it's still running like a charm.

S40 are cheap but shit,its not real Volvo,it got some connection with Renault I guess,the same aplies to V40..if you want real Volvo look out for some vintage 850..or upper scale S60 S80 ...if we talk about Volvo..the place where I live has some Volvo fetish in my town..plenty of them..like all the cool guys having them..and everybody jumping on the bandwagon...because I`m different I dont have one,and never will..my friend owns 850 and its much better in performance than my Nissan Primera
Volvo`s are cool but please avoid S40 they are not made in Sweden

volvos are good cars, used to be owned by ford but i believe ford sold them off. they are very reliable, and very safe. i dont believe s40s and v40s are made my renault, i believe they share platforms with the ford focus (which is a very well-built platform, even if you dont like fords).

basically i would not hesistate to pay good money for a ovlov

i had a 1994 940 turbo stationwagon and it was the best car!. volvos are sweet but can be expensive to fix..which eventually led to me upgrading to a honda. volvos are great cars though, drive great and are very safe.
