My08 D5 xc90. The fact that you never know if its going to go or not when you press the throttle at junctions/roundabouts!! 2nd attempt at getting Volvo to fix it this week!! Gear change on the geartronic could be a bit quicker! Bout it really. Generally happy with everything else bout the car. Mind you havent put the caravan on the back yet!!

From my experiance...
480 S Gear stick is too high and too far from a (my) comfortable driving position. Rattles. Erratic idling. 245 DL Automatic box is only a 3-speed - 4 speed would be much, much nicer. Handling is terrible! That bloody dash buzzer!! 850 TDI It's a diesel. It's FWD. Bad connection on horn! |

S60 2.0tse,
1,That my wife puts 300 miles a week on it, and that I put about 20 miles on the weekend after I've washed,polished,vacuumed etc. 2,The headlamps are always on,(I know its a volvo) 3,That everyone slates the lock on S60's, I had a BMW E39 before and a Lexus 220D( company thrasher) and see no difference. 4, My CD player plays when 'it' decides it wants too! Other than that I love it!!!!!!!!! |

'67 122S Amazon estate
Dislikes: 1) Rust!!! But then it has seen 41 UK winters & covered 280K miles so I guess it has an excuse. First needed welding only about 15 years ago, so it has lasted a lot better than many much younger cars. 2) No stereo, and difficult to fit a modern one & associated speakers without butchering the dash & door trims etc (which is why I haven't fitted one) 3) Needs a respray! However there are more than enough positives to make up for the above

My Volvo
I Have a Volvo 940se Wentworth. She is lovely, clean and reliable. Thing is she seems to be a little slow with kickdown. I had a 240 before this and she was one of the fastest cars I had ever driven - and I used to have a porsche 928! The 240 had no modifications either.
Don't get me wrong I am not a speed freak or mad driver, but sometimes it helps with overtaking etc. |
