First time volvo owner, early opinions!

Post by Lucasszy »

Simply put... I love this car. I picked up my 98 v90, with all the trimmings this passed weekend, and I can say that I love everything about this car.

Its huge, spacious and room! Decent power with the 3.0 I6, and I love the fact that its a RWD car.

I never expected a volvo to feel this smooth and be this nice. I always thought of the old and beat up 240 wagons that I've seen rusting all over the place.

This car is a true estate wagon and I am more than satisfied with the purchase. Especially since I got a car that bluebooks for 7900 for a mere 5300... Distress due to the owners about to loose their home.

Just some thoughts from a Volvo newbie!

Good to know you have been converted. My 960 was one of the best cars I have owned.
