1995 Volvo 960 CD AUTO review from UK and Ireland
"A truly fantastic car with unbeatable abilities. Well done Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear fuel pump is on it's way out and blew a fuse.
A/c needs a re-charge.
General comments?
This is a very underrated car. A typical Volvo, while not being a typical Volvo!
The car is great to drive, the chassis is responsive (I believe this is the case with the '94 on facelift 960) and the engine is as sweet as a nut - purrs along, but sound great with your foot to the floor! Above all this is the true Volvo experience - the cabin. The heated seats are sensationally comfortable and the cabin very ergonomic in design, if not particually attractive. the seating position is high and gives a good commanding view all around including the bonnet.
Parking could not be easier with the square rear lines and straight bonnet. I have yet to be in a car with a better turning circle!
You can't mention one of these without mentioning the boot! only last night I managed to get a complete 3 seater sofa in there! amazing.
This is a true Volvo - and great value now. They will run forever. I would not be worried about taking this car anywhere - even with the high miles - and I would feel safe also. Solid as a rock. the body looks good with no rust (good for the British 'rusting' climate!) and I love the looks. Smart, stylish and recognisable.
I would fully recommend one of these cars, I enjoy the all round abilities of this car. There is no competition at this price with this ability.
