I’ve had a 2011 C30 since 2015 and considered myself one of the lucky ones too, until this past fall! I knew about the problem and was always good about running Simple Green and vinegar through my sunroof drains at least twice a year to clean out gunk and grime and making sure everything drained through the weep holes…

Right on. Leaky sunroof or windshield would be in my top 3 for things to check out first. I had the leaky sunroof issue with my own C30 this past fall, but fortunately mine gets parked on a small incline which caused water to flow to the rear and under the spare tire well instead of through the A pillars and into the…

Because I’ve recently had to deal with it, the seemingly endless number of clips, screws, plastic fasteners, etc. - many of different sizes and requiring different driver heads - just to remove a headliner board that maybe weighs 5 lbs with fabric attached. I swear I’ve taken walls down with fewer things holding them…

I also just noticed this one has a sunroof. At some point, any Volvo of this generation with a sunroof will experience issues with leaking from clogged or disconnected drainage tubes. Some of them will also leak due to poor sealing around the windshield. If it leaks in such a way that vital electronics or wiring are c…

Could be - timing belts on these are due either by 100k miles or after 10 years. People like to cheap out by ignoring them. The coolant expansion tanks in these are also very prone to cracking with age, and there is no coolant level sensor or warning light. They can either cause a noticeable leak, or be just slow…

I don’t know what to make of this one, but the half-assed attempt at a rebel blue paint job provides some clues. This was owned by someone who was okay with “just good enough” and that sentiment likely permeates every bit of this car. These are easy to live with and take care of, but you need to be on top of…

Sadly, I have little faith that it would have survived. This was in a very small Indiana town in the early-mid 1980s. He sold the land to an energy company, which built a huge powerplant on top of it and everything around it. Given the locality, I doubt anyone would have wanted or cared about a tiny, weird, non-running…

100% agree. Although a lot of the design elements appear to have been influenced by other vehicles, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the way those influences work together on the Cosmo is just pure perfection.

The idea of owning one of these has been bouncing around in my head for at least a couple a of years, if not longer, so I’m just going to say NP so I don’t jinx myself. I might get more serious about it since the rate of depreciation appears equal to a plate of spaghetti thrown from a roof.

Almost any of them, really. This isn’t a “They sure don’t build them like they used to rant” but tech is now the wild card in most new vehicles. Consumers want all the efficiency and gadgets they can get at any price point, and manufacturers are happy to oblige, but at their own price point that maximizes profit.…

Most of the time, with a stretch goal of all the time. Elon demands 200% effort and commitment.

In today’s news that should surprise absolutely no one: Immigrants who come here to seek a better life, provide for their families, and just want to be left alone are less of a public threat than a militia of drunk and armed rednecks.

I know the guy who owns the Bertone also owns and regularly drives a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II in addition to a Jaguar XJ6. He is a retired provost from a small liberal arts school and now runs a gentleman’s consignment shop with his wife. Your profiling couldn’t be more correct, lol.

The 262 Bertone is the one to have. This just looks like an old Accord. Oddly, there is one of these and a Chrysler TC by Maserati that I regularly see street parked near my neighborhood.

Appreciate the replies from everyone - very helpful. I think my hunches about interior space will ultimately be the deal killer for me. Our current S60 can sometimes feel tight (I’m 6'2") and I’ve heard the P*2 isn’t much better, if not slightly worse.

Question for you, how do you feel about the Polestar 2 after living with it for a while? Would you make the same purchase? My wife wants one as our next car but I’m trying to convince myself to warm up to it. I think the proportions and small-ish interior space are my chief complaints. We don’t have a Polestar Center…

I hate those Volvo “Crystal” shifters so much. They look so tacky and out of place in an otherwise attractive and restrained interior. I’d love to have a V60 T8 Polestar, but that shifter would be replaced immediately with one from a lower model.

Because cruelty is the point and their base eats it up. As long as there’s someone else to punch down upon, they don’t have to confront the reality of being the lowest and stupidest of human trash who deserve their place at the bottom of the social scale.

Oh man, not Penthouse! Welp, I gotta stop everything I’m doing and listen to Freakin’ and Peakin’ now that you put it in my head.
