Just load it up and it's great for impulsive road trips!
It is an older model Volvo wagon, but I have already put on 150, 000 miles. Minor things can be problematic, but it is very reliable, comfortable, and I love to take it on road trips because it can hold so many things in the back of the wagon. Seats fold down flat, not slanted. It is easy for me to load in as I am a short person. Very comfortable smooth ride and holds the road nicely. The heater/ac is very easy to regulate without pushing a lot of buttons. Just set the thermostat to the temperature you enjoy. Even has dual thermostats.

Excellent Vehicle for all your needs
I have Volvo for many years and the performance are excellent, never have any problems, the motor is strong enough the reliability is 100% I recommended. The comfort it's perfect for all type of performance like loading material for work taking kids to their games. Take your dogs at park.

Probably the best car I have ever owned.
I have not experienced many problems with this car at all. I do dislike the obstructed view when turning to look behind you. I guess it seems like the headrests are too big. Other than that I have no complaints. It has been very reliable through Wisconsin winters.

Strong and comfortable. A vehicle that supports life.
Because it is an older model it is falling apart a little cosmetically. However, I am finding that it is relatively easy to find replacement parts and do most of the work myself. The car still runs very well and I feel confident that it will for a long time. If I can afford to repair the air conditioning then it will be with me for a very long time.

It's a very safe and roomy car. The shape of volvos don't go out of style. Plus, they last a long time!
I feel safe in a Volvo. I like how roomy it is. I like how heavy it is - better for bad weather. It has good driving performance. It's not new anymore, and I don't like how one of my windows doesn't go down any more.

If SAFETY is important to your LOVED ONES.
Love the way I feel safe while driving, feels like you have a tank surrounding you. Roomy, spacious , not crowded with oversize seats. Things most cars don't have is rear fog lamp, think about it if you are in heavy fog with cars behind you what is safer that a brite tail light? Anti skid button so in snow or rain it controls car power to keep you safe. Volvo was built for snow cooler weather, but in the valley with over 100 degree weather. Small things don't last well, like the glue used to keep inside panels tight, door mechanism last under 10 years. The strange thing I discovered was only 1 keyhole on the drivers door only. Just because check engine light said the oxygen sensor was bad , not so it was the rubber hoses the air travel through that was bad.

OLD AND RELIABLE THAT'S VERY STURDY
THE VEHICLE IS ON ITS LAST LEGS WITH LOTS OF PROBLEMS BUT IT STILL RUNS SO I WILL KEEP IT UNTIL IT BREAKS DOWNS TOTALLY OR IT CAN BE REPLACED NEXT YEAR
accountCircle Kaurie K
It's very expensive to have repaired in the US
When I first got it and it ran well I got great gas mileage. The turbo power was awesome and it was dependable. Now I have high mileage and it barely runs.

It is in great condition and feels very safe to drive! I love my little car!
My vehicle is very reliable, it is almost 18 years old and still runs almost perfect. It has 4 wheel drive for the winter and is excellent on gas! $40 to fill up and I only have to fill it once a week. I still have heat, air, radio is in perfect condition. I have been told multiple times that it is one of the safest small cars to own!
