This is my second Volvo. I originally leased a new 1997 960 in the fall of 96. After the lease was up I let it go back to the dealer. Since then I leased a Mercedes and bought a Porsche. I missed my Volvo so much that I went out last year and bought the identical car again - a 97 960 Sedan. It is the most solidly built car I have ever owned and that includes many luxury cars. The Volvo is just so sturdy - check out the glove box for example. Every new car seems to have a flimsy little box and cover, while the Volvo's is build like a brick outhouse. The whole car is like that. (except for the cup holders)
Good car

Great engine, seats, stereo, turning radius, build quality, looks, interior and trunk space. Dealer service is expensive. Sunroof repaired twice, Neutral start switch replaced and bushings in suspension - both $400 each. Brakes wear very quickly. Have to replace rotors, Volvo doesn't recommend turning. Expensive. Heater core replaced @ 65k. expensive!! Maybe she's gotten through her mid-life crisis so to speak and will be good for another 200k.
Volvo tried and true

I am a new Volvo owner as of this year and would buy another one for sure! This car amazes me every day because it is so reliable. Smooth power, nice comfort and awesome lighting! I will say that brakes are an issue but who can complain with the crap out on the market today. Oh, and real crap cupholders!
