GREAT car - very reliable

Eric TG, 12/10/2002

1991 Volvo 940 Turbo 4dr Sedan

This was (and is) our first Volvo purchase. we bought it used at 60,000 miles. Were worried about turbo going out at 120K, etc. We are now at 169,000 miles with almost NO problems.

Its a great daily driver and I would recommend one highly for anyone looking to get a family sedan. Power is good but not great, however once at highway speed its a great cruiser and accelerates well.

Too bad no more RWD Volvos
