An extremely badly-built car, as per its well-known reputation as "Volvo's Lemon Car".
Faults include:
Brake failure
Steering problems
Alarm problems
Central locking problems
Electric window problems
Exhaust problems
... many annoying problems, and I'm sure I've missed-out a few as-well!
Whilst it looked good, and was comfortable, I would strongly NOT recommend this vehicle. Volvos have subsequently, thanks to Ford ownership, improved however. However, it was a very strong car
I think you're completely wrong we have had a Volvo 460 for 12 years now and never until yesterday it would not start and we know what is wrong with it. Our Volvo is a very strong car, we even put on a trailer with a motorbike in it 3 months ago, 6 months we towed home a Mazda 2 using our Volvo. It has 146,732 miles on it and it drives like a new pin.
