AWW$HEEET Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 My gfs s40 was probably one of the worst vehicles I've known. Sad cause the older volvos are dead reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 volvo tried to play the luxury game and failed, which is why they've announced they're going to try to appeal to more people moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 My experience with Volvo's is that they throw a dummy light if you look at them wrong or fart in them. If you like it who gives a fuck what other people think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Certainly NOT where I'd be putting my $35-$40k if I was car searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 If you like it who gives a fuck what other people think? I could give a flying what others "think". You should know that! However, I know NOTHING about Volvos (good or bad). Knowing problems or greatness will help to influence my purchasing decision. IE - If everyone chimes in saying they are "bad" or have a ton of known issues, why in the hell would I buy one??? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I really like these cars but the price different from a b5 S4 to an S60-R is quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpfiend Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 We looked at these when also looking at about every other 4 door "luxury/performance" sedans on the market- I thought they were very very overpriced for a cramped interior (mainly rear passenger leg room, peaky engine- from idle to 2400 it was decent after that quite doggish, cheap interior, spongy brakes, and lots of body roll. We tried to take a look at an R model and the sales guy told us they took it to auction just the other day as it had too many problems... we ended up with an 08 acura rl... drove accord v6, subaru 3.6 and 2.5 legacy, ford fusion sport v6, acura tl, volvo s60, damn there were more can't remember them now but of those and the other cars we drove the volvo was by far the worst.
