Johny Utah Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Maybe thinking about trading in my van and selling my car since for some reason there is no interest from anyone in buying my van. Maybe thinking of a 07 Volvo S 60 R awd. Anyone every had one? Are they good reliable cars? Pretty good on gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 My brother has one and shit is always going bad on it. I'll give the car the benefit of the doubt though cause I think it's my brother driving like an idiot. Worst thing about it is the turn radius, I bet your van has a tighter radius. If you want a sport AWD sedan, just buy an S4 (Vulva is probably better on gas though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Turn radius will drive you fucking insane. I'm not kidding when I say a mercedes sprinter van is easier to park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I test drove an '07 and loved it. I didn't even notice a turn radius issue but I've read it's a common gripe. Find one with the Aero kid and dash nav and resale value holds strong. If looking for an automatic do not get an 04-05 because there is a 50hp difference between them and the 6mt. In 06-07 they fixed that. Happy browsing http://forums.swedespeed.com/forumdisplay.php?34-FWD-AWD-Cars-For-Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Either shitty corner lots with 100k+ ones for $10k or Byers. They actually did get one while I was in the market but it was automatic.. listed on their site as manual. I see that a lot with these things because the shifter kiiiiinda looks like a manual at a glance. http://img.autorevo.com/2007-volvo-s60-r-burbank-ca-3829810/63857-27-large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 There's only one in Columbus right now but it's automatic and has high mileage and shitty aftermarket wheels. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=328632712 They're nice finds either with low mileage (if you can afford/want a $15-20k car) or over 100k and are up to date on maintenance. A lot of people get the estimate for the timing belt and sell the car instead. Finding just the right one is a chore, as most kids see "omg $10k turbo awd racecar!" and beat them up. For a DD with a little power they are nice, but I would never mod one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) apples and oranges.. Edited October 23, 2012 by Not Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Utah Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would want an auto one. My car I have now is a stick. It sucks drinking my coffee on the way to work and having to shift. As lazy as that sounds its true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Look to see if MAG has one? That's where Erica test drove one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've thought about looking at one of these for a daily, bit too pricey for me and the maintenance is as well it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 apples and oranges.. So oranges are better than apples? IMHO, oranges are at least three time better than apples in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As lazy as that sounds its true. Plus if you happen to cut the end of your finger off it is much easier to drive than a manual. Unfortunatly this I know from first hand experience.
