1997 Volvo 960 wagon review from North America
"Love love love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator (my fault)
Steering rack just recently.
Heated seats and a/c were both busted when we bought it used.
That's it!!
General comments?
This car is beautiful. Drives and handles easily in the city, and like butter on the highway - long or short distance. I drive all day for work in this car and hot or cold, it hugs the road, corners well, and actually accelerates uphill. Tonnes of space for so much stuff. I have even hauled full sized couches in the back with room to spare. Might not bother to make the expensive steering rack repair, but would buy another one if I can find one... even a 10 year old model!
