The reason is because it's likely those who are now turned off by Volvo are not reading this forum. I for one love my 2012 XC60 and would buy again.

Another survey, for what it is worth, showing the relative reliability of 2010 cars in the US.
Volvo is slightly worse than the Industry Average, but better than Audi, BMW and VW. http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-new...216-1tacf.html

No! I like my S60 alot, sure it has faults but is supremely comfortable and easy to drive on the long motorway/A road journeys that I spend alot of time doing.
But I have never been one to buy the badge (with the exception of my penchant for GM muscle cars) and as such if any given car has an inherant issue (bloody suspension with Volvos), I can and indeed do get p1ssed off with them.. A V8 engined Jaguar XJ has also been added to my list of potential next car, although I'm not so hacked off with certain areas of Volvo build quality to put me off them all together

3 S40's in a space of 6 months... not such a good sign though, first two where tosh! Will I buy another S40? No... An S60? Perhaps. A newer Volvo? Definitely not.

Well it might be a little while yet?
My heart and my head are saying have a change (had the S60 18 months now). Sadly my accountant is saying, keep the Volvo! I did spend several years (and I'm still registered) on the VxON forum, as I had a run of Vauxhall Omegas. Possibly one of my favourite mainstrem, Eurobox type cars that I ever owned?

Im on my 12th Volvo
First 11 were RWD - 2 x 340's, 6 x 240's, 1 x 740, 1x 760 and 1 x 940 Ive just sold a VW Polo and was so impressed by its build quality and durability I bought my wife one as a runaround. Obviously I would buy another Volvo but Im not averse to considering other makes. |

Well I'm on my 10th Volvo at the moment and have 3 at the minute having just bought a XC60 yesterday and I think I can say that I'm 99% sure that my next car will be the new XC90 when it comes out.
