Re: Volvo 240 vs. Renault Alliance (R-9) 200 1988

I dont even need to call a person with these opinions on this site by any name-others have names as well.

The 760 had a not so great engine and of course it had electrical problems, with so many excessively engineered electrical components things can happen. But, when one learns a little about a Volvo the rest starts to come into sharper focus. Ususally the electrical problems you refer to can be resolved by cleaning off the contacts. Living in Maine I know you get a lot of humidity which can be even more devastating to electrical contacts.

BTW why do you even come here? Maybe you really do know that what you say, "I won't have another Volvo, ...", you do not actually believe. There is no information for you here about your Renault, so why visit? The little man in your head might be telling you more than you want to accept - it costs money to own a car. A car is not an investment it is transportation.

I am on my second Volvo - after owning 8 cars before and it is by far the best built vehicle on the road. Sure it doesn't drive like the "nimble, fun-to-drive.." Renault, it handle the bumps like a truck and doesn't shy away from the washboards I know maine has.

I bought an '96 Accord recently , and wish i hadnt made that mistake- the accord is a little cracker box that rides like the tiny car it is.

Some call it "nimble" i call it by other names.

Do you have any service luck on your Renault being close to Montreal and French-Canadians?
