It's A Classic, Beautiful And Exceptionally Useful Car. — I love this beaut. She's worked so very hard for me and never complained a bit. The engine is great, though has lost power over the years and when it is especially weighed down with cargo. Everything else is clinch. Will hold the whole world, more than any pick up truck. It has the best turning radius of any car I've ever driven, including tiny little rentals.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Pros: Huge and very reliable. Also exceptionally safe. Super nice new cd player.

Cons: Old, no perks whatsoever. No ac, cabin lights, front seats appolstary in bad shape.

Dependable And Comfy Hauled Anything I Put On It — this was a great first car, yeah its kinda ugly but i loved it. every time i would look out the side views and see the curve of the body i would feel as if i was in a battleship. just a great car, only broke down one and that was because a fan belt popped off, easy fix.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: suspension is fun

Cons: you ain't gona go flyin in this thing

Solid, Safe, Reliable Brick — This car has required very little maintenance over the years. It still runs great. With regular tuneups they can go such a long time. They are solidly built...in fact a Volvo Stationwagon saved my life, it was totalled by a semi and the windshield wiper in the back window still worked.

Pros: Strong, Safe, Reliable, Little maintenance required

Cons: Not very sexy, Older cars require more maintenance as they age, plastic housing gets brittle and crumbles when it's been in the sun

It Was A Good Car Back In It's Days — A squirt of oil, some water, a hammer to beat out rust, and lots of gas - that's all you need to keep a Volvo 240 going forever.

Pros: comfort on long trips,reliability,looks

Cons: fuel economy
