1997 Volvo 960 review from North America
"A luxurious old school sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat.
Brakes.
General maintenance.
Timing belt.
Some minor electrical problems.
General comments?
This car has style.
The last of the old boxy and I think most attractive volvo's just before FORD came along.
Ample leg room, great turning radius, luxury throughout including sun roof and heated seats.
Chrome accents and smooth 6 cylinder power make this a real cruiser.
