1996 Volvo 960 review from Sweden
"Good V6 engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cooling system broke down at 13000km.
The automatic transmission is totally unreliable.
General comments?
The good thing with this Volvo is the engine. It sounds really nice, and makes the car quick and fun to drive.
It is a pretty comfortable car, but I don't like the seats, they are too hard for me.
The road noise is low, but the wind noise is a bit worse.
Steering is extremely good and the turn ratio high.
The interior in its basic variant is very boring looking. Trunk is deep and roomy.
