I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, myself. I learned my lesson... ALL

...about recommending cars to people in the 1980s. SAABs. The street outside our house looked like suburban Stockholm at parties. I shoulda asked SAAB-Scania for commisions. Now, if anyone asks, I "suggest" a Camry or an Accord. It keeps me the few friends I have left after the SAABs!

The CR claims are pretty well confirmed by my own experience, by reading the posts here, comments in the European car mags, Swedishbricks, the Edmunds Town Hall, Kino's Volvo board and the Road and Track owner's survey. If your Volvos were built on Wednesday, with reliable electrical parts, congratulations!

I like my Volvo, and after a few drinks, I sometimes even think about buying another one. But the only person I've ever actually RECOMMENDED a Volvo to is my ex-boss, who was a sociopath. (I told him a Cross-Country would be a GREAT car for his retirement!)
