Detailed review: |
I was very excited to buy this car because of Volvo's past reputation and a friend recommended it highly. At approximately 7000 miles I started taking it to the shop, which is fortunately only 2 miles from my workplace. It has 3 motors and 2 fans associated with the heating system, and it needs another one. The engine mount had to be replaced at fairly low mileage and at least 7 or 8 light bulbs have burned out on this vehicle. The gas hinge quit working and two door gaskets failed. Prior to this purchase, I had Acuras, Hondas, and Toyotas (7 total). All of these together did not have the number of problems that I have had with the Volvo. I will return to a Japanese manufacturer for my next purchase. Never again with Volvo. Very disappointing experience, especially for such an expensive car. |
