Purchased the vehicle new in 95' loveing it ever since. Currently 120K + miles on it and she is rinning fine. Leather seats starting to wear a bit and some minor ac problems but all in all it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I hope to drive it until 200K then get a new Volvo(the XC 90 looks nice).

This yr, 2005, i spent over $5000 to fix the car timing belt, tires, electronics, pipe...you name it. Although it is very comfortable and fun to drive, i will NEVER buy another volvo....super expensive to keep.

Great car for teenager

This car has been a great car for my teenager. Its safety was a big priority, it's fun to drive and has some luxury items like leather and seat warmers that we don't have on the other cars. I drive a van, and I prefer to drive the Volvo during snow/rain because it has a better feel for the road. The car had 142,000 miles on it when purchased, but we feel our used- Volvo dealer prepped it well and guaranteed everything for one year. Will look for a '96 or '97 for my next teenager car purchase next year.

Unsexy but reliable

I received this car as a family hand me down. It is unquestionably the most well-built reliable car I've ever owned. Maintenance is expensive - especially for big ticket items - but in the 5 years and 45,000 miles I've owned it I've put less than $3000 in repairs into it. It's not fast or flashy and I'd like a cooler looking car but I have a hard time justifying a new car when this one keeps on running strong.

This car kicks it

An extraordinary Volvo for its time, race proven and with all of the safety features. The car is a diamond in the rough. With a few simple modifications you will elicit extraordinary performance. Body roll is excessive however and the tires are too low profile.
