@@desulv you been dating the wrong people then. honestly Volvos are so amazing, extremely practical vehicals, sleepers that no one expect, quiet and refined. if you had to compare volvo to a GF.. volvo would be the GF that can cook, clean, never complains, never gives up on you, keeps you going but visually pretty average... i remember when i first got my XC70 with AWD nothing super fancy, just a wagon....base engine or maybe 1 option up... turned out it didn't have limiter installed or flashed i was doing 170+ MPH one day only knew it was over 160MPH cuz GPS, my gauge topped out at 160MPH...i had good reason though, my dad was slipping away at hospital...it was 2am and that stretch of road zero people for miles, so i took my chances.. i remember that thing wasnt slowing down, it was climbing up in speed still even over 170.. still climbing at a rate of 1 mph/sec but for it being an automatic and rev limited to 6500 rpm, it wasn't sticking around!

Learned how to drive stick on it from my dad, and the first night I drove it alone I was clocked 1km/h below getting impounded. Had tons of fun over the years as I went on roadtrips, wrenched on the car and had quite a few mods, met tons of Volvo enthusiasts, and it helped kickstart my career in the automotive aftermarket industry :) Sold it 2.5 years ago, and I miss it daily. Wish I could have kept it, but it helped pay my way through university. Would love one again!!

Got my first car 9 months ago. A teal blue 2008 Volvo s40 2.4i manual for $500. My uncles boss was selling the car and it was his daily driver but needed to get rid of it because he was retiring. Has 208,000 miles on the clock which fortunately are almost all highway miles. However it was regularly maintained and I have every single receipt from each time it was taken in for maintenance since 2008. While my uncle was test driving and I was with him (I didn’t know how to drive manual) my father asked him why he was selling such a good car for so cheap. He simply responded with “I just want someone to enjoy my car as much as I did and selling it for cheap makes people appreciate the car even more.” In the end it only needed new tires and brakes. Volvo FTW!

Unfortunately 3 years ago the engine blew, she lived a good life tho bought her with 120k miles she passed into car heaven with over 300K miles. The only downside of getting one of those only unicorn volvos, they are just funky cars. Mines was this ocean blue-teal color, with cream interior with body color inserts and a wood grain accent on the dash. Was a hot mess too look at but the Swedish know how to put a car together mechanically.

My second car was a 91 240. Such a fun car. Loved how well it did in the winter being a Swedish-made car. Started right up, heat worked like a damn sauna, and the car gripped the road relatively well for RWD. Unfortunately was very expensive to maintain as a daily driver with 200k+ miles on it and parts have started to dry up recently. Even had to import brake dust shields directly from Sweden, as no US parts place or dealer has stocked them in quite some time. The prior owner really didn't take good care of it and it had to eventually be put out to pasture. If given the chance I would definitely buy another Volvo, but it has to be a turbo model.

Fun thing is that here in Sweden those cars are super rare! If you ship one over you can sell it for a fortune. I have an 855 T5 and that sob is an Italy import.

I started with an s40 as my first car and now have a turbo s60 and they are just intoxicating cars. I’ve done 85 in the turns in my s60 and felt unbelievably stable.

I got my '05 S40 T5 (6 speed manual) a little over a year ago. I remember one night, in Texas, right after getting a full set of nice new pirellis, I tried to see how fast it could go. I got to 140 mph on SW Loop 410 before the thing began demonstrating it's aspirations to become a plane. I don't know how I never got pulled over in Texas. I still love driving my bad bitch little swedish sleeper.

We went to a Volvo launch event for these cars back in 2003. Great cars! 2006 V70R with a manual trans would still be great.

I knew a guy who bought one of these thing in the mid 2000’s. This was during my modified wrx phase. He said his car was faster. Uh... He then takes me for a ride. His car was modified with downpipe, larger intercooler, bigger turbo, tune, etc. This thing absolutely flew! Was faster than my buddy’s C5! Total sleeper.

I had a s60 that didn’t have a limiter. Got it to 171mph on the i5. I replaced the fuel pump and injectors with a higher volume installed a chip, a split second boost controller all came in a kit I found in the Swede speed forum. It made a little over 330hp. it ran a high 12 after it was stripped of all its interior. It surprised a lot people out at tuner night at Famoso raceway.

Do like those I5 from Volvo, can be quite quick, but also just relaxing as their revs are just so low when cruising. My dad has had a few XC70, that slight lift to the wagon just makes them look great and they are comfy as can be.

i have a hand-me-down '92 940 gl with 330,000 miles and while it definitely shows its age (wiring going wonky, parts expiring) it can still keep up with modern traffic, and even with a bad steering rack and worn to hell tie rod it hit 100 at 3600 rpm. god i love my swedish tank!

I owned a 2005 S60R 6spd. It was water damaged title. But with many many mods, I managed 168mph Somewhere between FLW Mo and Louisville Ky. Still have it saved in my old Garmin. Today I own a 2004 R with 125K on it. Love these cars, Hoping to reach 500hp with it.

My wife has had S60’s since 2002, she drives an XC60 now and my youngest daughter has an ‘05 S40 with a 2.5t. It’s like a go kart, wish my first car was that fun! I’m a Chevy truck guy, but want an S40 as a daily driver.
Everyone LOVES you with this rare, broken Volvo
