Currently Volvo-less but have had a few of 'em...
1987 Volvo 360 GLT 1. Rust 2. Parts Availability 3. Lack of upgradable front suspension 4. Fuel Economy for it's performance 1982 (yellow!) Volvo 343 DL 1. Rust 2. Parts Availability 3. Performance wasn't great - but it was a 1.4, so I'll forgive it... 4. Too many turns lock to lock (Hmm, infact this was the most fun of all Volvo's I've had!) 1992 Volvo 940 Wentworth 1. Soggy suspension 2. Tan interior 3. Tiny wheels and annoying 'tucked' look on the rear 4. No cool centre vents (coming from the 300 series that's a major plus point imo) 1998 Volvo S40 T4 (the most hated!) 1. Torque Steer 2. Poor build quality 3. Oil leaks from turbo drain seal 4. Crappy ride quality 5. 98 model fuel pump foibles 6. Turning circle 7. Flat, unsupportive (for Volvo) seats 8. Vague and unresponsive steering Last edited by SteveP; Feb 2nd, 2009 at 20:10. |

c70- The fact that no-one seems to own one! bit worrying! are they that bad lol.
At the moment I love my car! only dislikes I have is 1.leccy windows only work with ignition, 2.Boot has that little lip at the back covering the suspension mounts so makes it harder to put a boot install in lol Thats it lol

05 V50 2.0DSE
Terrible Handling Wheelspin - even withDTSC on Brakes not great Dipped Headlights (hopefully sorted soon) A-pillar blocks vision on hairpins Not as economical as I was led to believe - avg. 35mpg Ridiculous indicator function which blinks 3 times if you knock it. Main beam headlight stalk - why use the same action (pull towards you) to switch the main beam off and on? Surely the Subaru method is better - push back for on / pull forward for off... In it's defence, the V50 feels weighty and safe and I am comparing it to my last car I guess (Impreza Turbo) |

940
1991 945 GLE 2.3 with chips
Good: --Simple non-turbo engine --Easy to work on --Good for towing --Loads of space --Lives outdoors happily --Plentiful 2nd hand parts --Great forum for support --Excellent turning circle Bad: --Electronics can be temperamental - but is fixable --Engine could be quieter at speed --Fuel consumption 33mpg tops --Interior light switches in roof light are awkward --Headlight dip/undip, simple forward and back movement would be better --Standard handling a bit soggy Keep rolling!
