  • ChristianWimmer I don’t think owning one of these (even used) would be that bad if a potential buyer informs themselves on the known weakspots and how to effectively take care of them so that the car will remain as reliable and trouble-free as possible. And the good news is the known weakspots and issues of these are now known. This would be standard issue for me if I were buying ANY used car no matter the brand.
  • Ajla I do not think the IQS metric is useless but JD Power doesn't give enough data to the public to have a big impact on consumer decisions.
  • OrpheusSail My mom swapped her Oldsmobile station wagon for one of these when I was in high school. I remember the Infinity stereo sounding nice and the A/C being strong. I'd pick my little brother up from Little League, and he'd sit in the middle seat and have me point the center vents on the dash at him and turn it on full blast.

  • Durailer I forgot how these things kind of resembled XJs in the rear quarter. Nice find!When we were kids, we actually wanted our parents to buy one of these so we wouldn’t have to squeeze 3 in the backseat. My dad would refrain, “Volvo doesn’t make minivans for a reason.” In hindsight, our childhood complaint was nothing compared to how my grandparents’ generation would squeeze larger families in their sedans.
