2002 Volvo XC

Pros: Roomy, Comfortable, Lots of TOYS
Cons: Back to dealer 9 times, still not right! Won't ever be right I FIRMLY believe.

Hello all, This is for the I Can't Believe I Bought This Piece of JUNK write off. As a SLUMLORD I drive a pick up truck. (The 1999 Ford Ranger "Epinion") However, Mrs. Schlamozzel gets to travel more to and from work. A very nasty ...

Pros: Safety, Power, Quietness, Smooth Ride, Excellent in Bad Weather, Luxurious Interior, Satisfactory Gas Mileage
Cons: Price - and it's a station wagon

When I found myself looking for a new car, there were several key items I was after: safety, all wheel drive, capacity to transport gear & pets as well as a comfortable ride with decent gas mileage. In the beginning, I thought the BMW 330xi would meet ...

Pros: Safety, comfort, bells and whistles, fast, All wheel drive,
Cons: Cost to fix! I thought Volvo made a quality product. thought wrong!

I'm upset! because I just found out that I have to pay $3200 to fix my blown rear differential. Yes, on a car that ONLY has 66k! Volvo's warranty only covers 50k...what? that's poor! I bought my Volvo for my family and to transport our new baby.. It's a safe car but how safe is safe IF I didn't happen to notice the differential leak (b/c it's located directly above your exhaust and burns up so you don't notice it on your driveway) and it locks up and the car looses control on the highway? tell me VOLVO?? Sure, its got all the bells and whistles that I thought were really cool when I went to buy it. Now, they look cool sitting still in my driveway because we can't afford to fix it..so where do I go from here? Oh..... nowhere because we don't have a car..........

Pros: Safety
Cons: Seat comfort, Mushy steering, High Price for low tech

We bought this car for my wife who only drove it, and compared it to nothing else. Although it's performed adequately, that's just it. It is a mediocre, adequate car with a luxury SUV's price tag. A couple of little things have had us to the dealer twice in 22,000 miles (don't go to the dealer for $80 oil changes by the way) But mostly, we're not thrilled with the car because the seats are two soft, the steering is sort of mushy, the stereo presets are on this stupid knob as opposed to buttons. For 40,000 dollars, get the Acura MDX, The Explorer, the Jeep Grand Cheerokee
