I just came through Southern Texas thunderstorm where it was raining so hard visibility was reduced to a couple of car lengths at times, or worse. I knew the car comes with a brighter taillight for just such circumstances, that's number one safety. I also noted how other smaller but good cars handled and even some of the SUV's. I was immediately aware by this that the Volvo 960 is not only safe but handles very well in difficult weather conditions. The rain was pouring down so the drains could not get it off the road fast enough - no matter which road. I was impressed how the Volvo plowed through the water and maintained complete stability. I bought it at 62500 and it's great!!!!

After many miles(145,000), I still enjoy driving the car. It handles and brakes exceptionally well for a four- door sedan. The seats and roominess make long drives easy as it is fun to drive. The only complaint is minor. The power does not match its precise handling capabilities. The 2.9 inline-6 is smooth and free-reving but this chasis could handle much more than the 200+hp that came from Sweden. Although not slow by any means, I would like to have sports car acceleration to match the sports car handling.

Purchased new as a military sales from Okinawa in 1996; still all original in 2019. Driven in Colorado, Maryland, Hawaii and back to Colorado; meticulous with only 88K miles. Was in storage and now back on the road; looks brand new. I'll keep for another 10 years!

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.
