1996 Volvo 960 4 Dr STD Sedan
Review
I bought this car as inexpensive transportation. It looks great inside and out, and has a ton of great features, especially for an older car. So far everything works great on the inside, I've had problems with the car overheating and a blown headgasket. But, the car has almost 150k, so I guess I should be happy with whatever I get out of it.
Favorite Features
The cabin in quiet and roomy, the seats are comfy, the leather is plush, love the ammenities and design
Suggested Improvements
Anything besides an oil change is tough to do by a non-mechanic and generally expensive. Gas mileage could also be better for a midsize V6
It's Marvelous Darling!

It's amazing! Comfortable, elite, handles like a dream. Sharp in looks, classy to own. This is my work car. We own a new 2007 s80 purchased last summer for our "Sunday driving" car, and love both our old and new models!

1996 Volvo 960 4 Dr STD Wagon
Review
The joint venture with Asia has created a smooth and strong engine which doesn't blink when tested. The sound system, interior, and finishings leave very little to question.
Favorite Features
Strong engine, plushness in a wagon.
Suggested Improvements
Increase rear seat leg room....still tight even in 2004 v70's

Review
Pleased except for a few very expensive fixes...AC @ $64,000 miles. Recent $1000 expense to replace vacuum system behind dash to support AC system. Dealership has been very professional and helpful...a "10." Still pretty noisy after trying a variety of tires.
Favorite Features
size of passenger cabin and layout/design of interior(except cup holder)
Suggested Improvements
longer warranty on key AC compoinents based on track record.
