Car isn't exactly the best car out there. When they say things about a Volvo being a "tank" they really mean it. The thing is that I have this car for quite some time now and well the thing is that it's gotten me everywhere that I needed to go quite well long distance wise. Nowadays though I'm more of a local travel kind of a person so the Volvo really gets a hard time in getting it's acceleration with a small engine. It has to get moving first before it actually catches some speed. The seats are quite handy with the heated seats in, but seriously I don't really need them since where I'm usually at, I don't really have to worry too much about the cold. It's the heat. The Volvo seems to be like an Igloo. I know that cars are supposed to be pretty hot inside when outside it's very hot as well. But after being in different cars, to this day, nothing has actually surpassed the Volvo's heat absorbance in it's seats and in it's interior. The style is very much like a box which is classic since it can just about be that way for as long as it wants and the style will still fit for the years to come. The car loves to keep on going and I'm pretty sure it can still run for years to come, but after many different things happening to it like little things that like to break on me since this is an old car, the cost to fix it really does add up. I wouldn't recommend this car if you aren't having large loads and is only going to drive this car around town and not really go out traveling someplace far. Gas mileage isn't all that great probably because it's old.
