Default Volvo?

Hey I know this site is very biased toward audi, but what do you guys honestly think of volvo's? A good handling car? Reliable? Im talking about more of the 2000-2007 era

Thanks!

Id take a S60R over my A4, volvos are really relable considering that their actually fords(boooo) but their AWD isnt the greatest. really fast though. go for it if you want it.

A buddy of mine has an S60R that makes good power, somewhere in the 400-500 whp range but he doesn't know for sure yet since it is still at the shop being tuned. Volvo's are good cars, they seem to last forever.

Ford is their sister company, so they share similarities with Fords. They also share with Land Rover and Jaguar so I wouldn'tbe too worried about quality.

Which would you call more luxurious? Audi or volvo? Do volvos handle well?

My family has owned a few volvo's back when i was younger and we could all fit it them. They were nice cars. I would say you get an old brick though. there more fun. http://turbobricks.com/



But if the new ones are what you want IMO they look nice, I have no idea how they drive though.

my grandparents used to own a V70R that i drove a few times...it was fast as hell and handled pretty well too....the non sport models have pretty soft suspensions though from what i've heard...audis have a nicer interior for sure, but volvo's are still very nice inside
