Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Is the car a keeper or a banger?

@NurseHolliday Is it as shit and unreliable as my Garmin 1000?

If it's anything like my Garmin car sat nav, it'll be worse. I ended up defenestrating mine while driving down the A14 out of sheer frustration at its uselessness.

its a beautiful volvo that lies somewhere in between.
i want to swap it for a saab 9000 or a volvo 960. need to fix it first....

Do you know where the leak is coming from, is it the heater matrix, or the control valve?

It's the heater matrix. And the fan needs replacing too, the bearings gone. Just such a long job...

Yep, deffers a Fiero. Such a very slow car.

PotatoChopped, Shirley? Ridic...

Just spotted the windows... As you were...

Should I bin the idea of an M5 Touring and get a Golf R Estate instead, brand new with warranty and just buy it tyres for three years?

What about a v90 T8? ;)

Not until Volvo mend their ways

Considering you're forever spending money on the Porsche, that make a lots of sense.

Yes, far classier choice.

I am heartily sick of paying to fix stuff on my cars. This could be a way out of that.

If warmish VAG is on the menu, then surely Octavia estate?

Is there an R equivalent? I like the idea of 300 bhp and DSG.

No - just 230ps and DSG.

I think a Golf in that case. Now to plunge into the murky world of car leasing.
