This is my third Volvo and by far the most satisfying. While it only has 97k miles (the first went 425,000, second 195,000) it has been a very pleasant ride. The ride is very soft and sure. It turns on a dime. The in-line 6 has plenty of power, and the creature comforts about as standards, like side air bags on a 7 yr old car. I have had only one non-regular service issue covered under warranty, the sun roof. Having moved to E Coast from W, you do NEED snow tires.
Great Luxo Cruiser

This is my 3rd Volvo. My husband and I bought our first ones in 1984 and 1985. Both used 744 sedans. We got them mainly because of the safety Volvo is known for. They were such great cars, that in 1991 we bought a Volvo 945 wagon. And then another Volvo 940 in 94. My 945 was dying after 184k miles. This is the most comfortable one we have owned. We like it so much my husband plans to get one instead of a new Mini Cooper. We are lucky and haven't had any problems. The cupholders are a poor design though. Other than that it is a wonderful car. Tailored for those who want to drive in style and luxary.

My family is a Volvo family; we currently own 4. I love the Volvo 960 that I have. It is comfortable, sharp looking, and something that you feel safe driving. Unfortunately, I recently ran into some financial difficulty and had to put it on the market. I'm going to cry when it goes. It is an awesome car and I suggest it to anyone who is interested. I was actually put into this car by my mom. She wanted something safe and reliable for me. Volvo is 'safest car in America' and that is the truth!
Not bad

This was my first car I recieved for a graduation present in 2008. it had over 100,00 miles on in then. It lasted about 5 more years. Sunroof leaked when it rained. it would all pool up and then you when you made a turn all of it would drip on you at once. Inside parts did start falling off, all the cloth on the roof finally came off. I used the cheapest gas on it and didn't take the greatest care of it. Seat controls stopped working so I was stuck at one position forever My alternator broke near the ned and I had to replace that. Then at about 180,000 miles the engine and battery started having issues. It couldnt keep charged. It would drive sometimes but would randomly turn off. The radio wasn't the greatest. The sunroof was nice. I would say it's a slightly above average car.
