Volvo Drivers

[Volvo boy]

What does everybody think of them????

[Carguy]

I think Volvo's are great cars for people who lack imagination and want to make a statement about themselves as a hapless yuppie that likes to run marathons, calls his broker every Monday morning, drives the twins to jazzersize on Tuesdays, lets the Mrs. take it to Yoga on Wednesdays, uses it to go to the Market on Thursdays, (not a grocery store, that's to average), and on Friday's takes it to the Concert Hall for a night at the Opera. Saturdays and Sundays it stays parked out front to tell the neighbours just who you are......... Trust me, they know already.

Almost forgot...you probably shop at IKEA and only eat imported chocolates.

hey, what's wrong with Volvo's. I like the Rear Drive Turbo Models. They actualy are quick. I am going to buy a '84 242 GLT Turbo Intercooled. On all Turbo Volvo the internals are good to 400HP. which is good engineering.

Going out on a limb a little. But the C70 is nothing to sneeze at. Good or I should say decent horsepower.

volvo should go back to rear wheel drive...
my dad's a volvo man, he own almost all volvo medels from the p1200(still drives it) all the way to the new V70XC.

Volvo's are safe, and a very good all around car.... The styling is getting very good too, like on the X-country and C70

and what's wrong with all the stuff you said there

I really respect Volvos, but their drivers are another story. A friend of mine has an 86' something or rather and about one year ago, he asked me to replace his belts. I noticed his radiator fan was much smaller than it should have been. What had happend was both motor mounts and one transmission mount were broken. When he gave the engine gas, the engine rocked and hit the fan against the shroud!! Even with that poor motor flopping on the cross member, he said he drove it for six months like that! I believe him after doing a brake job on that thing. What a pain in the ass TWO seperate braking systems!! I'm currently looking for a good Volvo to replace my Toyota right now.:hehehe:

[WarCleric]

I was just joking gangstarr

[Bumsis]

It's a pity that You have no possibilities to try Volvo 480 turbo....

[EightOhOne]

I like the ones that look like a refrigerator box....they beat my slow car, and in style

[Amanda]

I just thought i'd say that volvo drivers are the best....(mainly 240 and drivers and eariler) that's about all i have to say about that....

[NJTy180]

good, anyone wanna buy a 84 240 diesel that doesnt run with 4 brand spankin new tires?

[Euro19]

I think Volvo is a great brand. They have made a new styling statement first with the S40/V40 and then with the news S80 S60 and C70.
I considered buying an S60 2.4 and I don´t consider myself to have a silly agenda or whatever like someone posted before.
This cars are head to head with other cars from germany or japan (in their respectively price class of course)
