Bought one in this color many years ago and gave it to my brother as a family car. Nothing but trouble, I hated the car, and it hated me back.
Watched it get crushed.

Watched it get crushed.
My first Volvo was ORANGE 1975 245 with 4 speed manual (no overdrive). It was great. Purchased about 1988 with 120K miles and drove everywhere until about 2002 at 240K. It never gave much trouble.
