This is the best car I have ever owned. After 17 years my turbocharged 940 wagon will still give a new European Touring Car a run for it. I blew away my bosses new Infinity. I would give anything to be able to buy a new one today. 220,000 miles and it doesn't burn a drop of oil. After 17 years I still have the original belts, hoses, and struts. I was rear ended by someone who totaled their vehicle. My Volvo sustained no damage! Now I understand Volvo was sold by Ford to a company in China. Who knows what it will become in the future. My wagon looks exactly like the picture. Now since spare parts are gradually being discontinued I will need to get a new car.

Comfy, quiet, torquey 4 banger with toyota truck transmission (yep, same one)! Very reliable when given basic maintenance, marginal if not! 1992- had SIPS side impact design that all use today, antilock, hydraulic motor mounts with motor to submerge in collision, ballistic seat belts and crumple interior! Also, limited slip rear end works well in snow! Neat car even today, $25K new back then tells ya somethin about the build quality/components! My air bag light is still off/functions 20 years later, the wagon is the size of an SUV and the 90- 92 is geared the tallest and so gets the best mileage -about 18/20 town and 24/26 highway on reg! Love the cars, had many, will get a prius next!

I'll Miss These Good Old Volvos When They're Gone for Good

Love, love, love my 940! I bought this car in 2010 with 94k miles. It currently has 128k miles in 2012. I inherited many of its problems when I bought it. I get the impression it was not taken care of. This disappointment aside, the 940 is a great car. The transmission takes getting used to, however. It shifts very hard and holds gears WAY too long before upshifting. It actually makes the car feel much slower than it actually is. The turbo 4cyl. is a strong engine with good power. It's a very comfortable foreign car. Even as old as it is, people still tell me "That's a nice Volvo". I'd buy another in a heartbeat, except Ford ruined them! Not what they used to be, by far.
Love this car!

I have had this car since 94. This is my fifth Volvo, and the best I've had. At 130,000 miles it still rides like new, interior is not worn (Unlike my wifes Windstar w 40K miles on it) So far the only problem it's had was a failed microswitch 100k miles ago, $29 - and fixed under warranty! It is comfortable, roomy, inexpensive to maintain, with the best seats out there- and SAFE - great - since my 16 yr old will now take it over. The only thing I would wish for is some more power, but for that the 960/S90 is out there. Bottom line is: I wouldn't hesitate to take this car cross-country at this age and mileage. Can you say that of many others in this range?
Great Car!

Very Reliable. Our Volvo now has over 150000 miles. Besides regular maint. we've replaced the battery twice, and the water pump once. With the added safety features and solid construction our family feels very safe while traveling. It rides very smooth and quiet. I'd buy the car again if I was faced with the choice.
