1993 Volvo 960 review from North America
"I would by again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission selector switch failed. Covered under warranty.
Front brake rotors warp. Have had to turn rotors twice.
Would not start one time. Ended up being the spark plugs installed by the dealer. Independent garage replaced with different type.
Two center air conditioning vents not blowing as cold as outer vents.
General comments?
Most of the issues above I would consider to be maintenance. I would like to have front rotors that do not warp as often.
Car handles like new. Very comfortable ride. Not high performance, but I have another vehicle for that.
This has probably been the best car I have owned. Low maintenance, comfort and Volvo safety are all there.
