The car has reached 200,000 miles and still runs smoothly. Only normal wear and tear issues. This car has always been reliable, and has never failed to get me to where I need. It handles decently for a big car, and has decent acceleration. There is only one thing that doesn't work properly on it, and that's the cruse control. I just need to change the control unit.

I have driven this car for 8 years, and you can tell. Outside of the mechanical workings of the car, it has not held up at all against the heat of Texas summers. The paint has oxidized and cracked, interior trim pieces are literally rotting off, and several small features (keyless entry, various switches on the inside, etc) do not work very well if at all. Also, the leather seats have worn down quite a bit and the headliner is coming off, both of which are extremely unsightly. This was a good looking car when I bought it, but it has really gone downhill. The good part about it is that it has been very reliable. Outside of regularly scheduled maintenance, I have had no problems at all (except the time I drove it though 3 ft of water and burned out the alternator). Now that the car has passed 150k on the odometer, I can see some mechanical parts showing their age. The power steering uses a lot of fluid now, and the AC system is leaking. The shifting performance of the automatic transmission has also decreased from being flawless to having slight jumps when shifting under acceleration. For now though, nothing major has broken. The performance is mediocre, but enough to get around town. The top end acceleration is just not there, so it is hard to merge onto freeways sometimes. The handling is generally squishy and there is a lot of body roll if you drive it aggressively. Braking is good. Since this car is FWD and heavy, it handles great on the ice. The best part about this car is that you have no risk of it being stolen. I used to leave it unlocked in Houston when cars all around were getting broken into and stolen on a regular basis. The O.G.s do not want anything to do with this car.

The performance overall is pretty good, but there are some minor issues: As with most Volvo's, the brakes are pretty squeaky, but they always work just fine. Also, once in a while you'll hear a little noise if your going, say, 100 KM/H on the highway, but other than that it's fine.

very solid performance,excellent handling,solid quiet no wind noise,very good safety,brakes are excellent 4 wheel disc,horsepower is decent,sport or economy shifter,very good stereo,6 speakers,16 inch rims & sticky tires,turns like its on rails.
