"Would never buy a Volvo again, really"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The cruise control stopped working at 40,000 miles. The check engine light was on more often than not. The brakes constantly needed repairing. The little door to the gas cap would not open, so we had to move a panel in the back to pop a wire to open it every time we wanted to put in gas. At 106,000 miles, it died, even though we were vigilant about service and using premium gas. NEVER AGAIN.

General comments?

A very expensive machine, totally unreliable.

So unreliable that you kept it for over 100,000 miles!
