Looks like it’s trying too hard.

Reading through the comments, I thought I was in the minority...I think it looks pretty good.

If they’d actually made this car with a non-Pacer fishbowl greenhouse, I’d have bought it instead of the Intrigue back then...interesting concept.

Your perception of the brand is Volvo's exact problem with getting people into their cars. They'll never be BMW in terms of volume but I don't think they want to be that big because there's a piece of this car's personality that's well rooted in being from a smaller company.

I test drove nearly everything from Audi to…

I now own my second Volvo, a 2015 V60 R Design, and I don't have any worries about the reliability of the car. It's far nicer than any other car I cross shopped. You simply won't find better, more comfortable seats than those in a Volvo. The interior is understated, clean and well thought out with a few Swedish…

I vote that these two ‘tough guys’ go to prison where they can be raped and no one will say anything.

There is absolutely zero excuse / reason for this behaviour. Zero.

My current car has heated seats and I don’t use the function. Something about my balls being warmer than my arms that just feels wrong.

Me: “What time is it?”

1st gen Mazdaspeed 3 (and probably the regular 3 as well) doesn’t have a button for the hatch.

Awesome! I’m driving into Indiana tonight/tomorrow...I’ll be on the look out! I was hoping there would be something to look at while I drive for four hours.

I’d venture to guess that roughly 95% of people buying this 4 wheeled mechanical “Predator” ripoff will NEVER EVER use the third row seats...so why have them? Same basic reason car companies are getting rid of spare tires-dead weight to haul around. People who want to haul around 6 people already buy minivans or a…

Domestic flights: MDW It’s a smaller airport that’s usually more efficient than ORD in getting through ‘security’ and to the gate.

This is one SERIOUSLY ugly car...both inside and out.

I do give them credit for the shift lever and its clearly directed message to the ladies...

I had a 2002 SE and it was a lot of fun to drive...the manual transmission shifted like a tractor but I eventually got used to it.

I feel that GM has done nearly everything it can to numb people into a coma...in the blind hope that whilst in said coma-you’ll buy one of their bland, similarly styled blahmobiles. It’s a mini Impala with a Chrysler 200 rear end...big f’ing deal. A 12 year old could have designed this car in far less time.

They have…

Not to mention that the driving test involves turning into the church parking lot, making a circle and going back to the DMV.

Your last paragraph is what got me to buy a Volvo. I went to the local Volvo dealership and the entire process was flawless. The sales guy asked about what we were looking for-features in the car of our choice-and then demonstrated them in the car. He never asked about budget, our downpayment/trade in, etc. The entire…

As someone who has been on this bike path many, many times...I’m left to wonder how the f**k this car made it into the space. In some sections, it’s barely wide enough for two bicycles, let alone a car and there is a rather sizeable curb involved to get up onto the bridge section from the street level (where a car…

Yes. I just bought a new (to me) car and I actually had to read the owner's manual to figure out how to program/use some of the features. Remember the good ol' days when you just had to know where to put the key and how to use the stereo?

I am partial to wagons myself. I'm restoring two classic VWs - both are 'wagon' shaped. The Speed3 was, essentially, a wagon. I wanted a 2005 Subaru Legacy wagon with the 5 speed but I'm now thrilled that I never bought one given all of the problems they offered.

The Volvo is, quite simply, a really nice, sporty,…
