Seriously, in 1990 if someone had bought a brand new Volvo 240 Estate and you told them in 20 years time you would be able to buy that car with the same engine as a mini??? No wonder it was short lived.
That's my view... but really as Clan says they're adequate overall, but the S80 with that engine is a bit of a pig on country roads, it's a big car to be accelerating and braking a lot with the Briggs and Stratton.... I mean Ford/PSA 4-pot. It's worked hard and never lasted as long as the Volvo engines anyway so unless you're going to do less than 10k miles a year - I would avoid.
