Review

Great car, fits all of our stuff, two large dogs and now a baby. Purchased our 92 in 96, with VIP warranty package extra $1,800 (3yr/36K)& worth every penny - things go on this car and it is expensive to fix. Don't get sucked in by the dealer for repairs, you just need a good mechanic. Now has 120K+ and should go for 250K+, remember the oil changes, very important. Just put in a new a/c system $850 - talk about cold air, it's great! Having an 11 yr old car things are bound to go, but this thing still works!

I bought this car used and it still looks and runs like new (well, not quite but it's still great.) Plenty of power, excellent quality on inside and out, mechanically reliable, built like a tank! Negatives: repairs are very expensive. You are getting a great car when buying used, but PLAN on $1500 to $2000 a year in repairs. Best Part: watching other drivers faces as they watch an older Volvo station wagon kick in it's turbo and leave them in the dust.

We just went over 177,000 miles on this amazingly reliable automoblie. We bought it new and could new find a reason to sell it. The car does eat brakes and tires, but cannot complain about any major repairs. COOL CAR!!! SAFE!!!RELAIBLE!!!GOOD PERFORMANCE W/ TURBO!!!!Mechanic says it will go to 225 to 250

Favorite Features

Turbo, reliablity, safety

Suggested Improvements

Brakes are very noisy even when using aftermarket pads, just a Volvo thing I guess...

I bought this car used and have had it for 8 years. While there have been minor problems as with any car, it has been an outstanding vehicle and my mechanic says it can go another 60,000 miles.
