Key Driver, define “never had a problem”. Keep in mind, no matter what
the brand of car, parts wear out. Rubber on ball joints and control arms
etc etc starts deteriorating after 100k. Suspension components start
leaking etc etc. Wheel bearings wear out. No matter what brand of
vehicle, these things are inevitable. The problem is, that if you don’t
stay ahead of the problems by replacing worn parts, you are falling
behind. If you have a vehicle that is at above 200k, then likely nearly
everything needs to be ripped out and replaced in order for the vehicle to
keep running reliably. some cars have cheaper parts than others that wear
out faster … my experience w/ Nissan, Toyota, Volvo, ford, Hyundai….
is that everything wears out, some stuff slightly slower than others.

Thanks man. I’m trying to do more videos as they come. I don’t drive the
s60r very much because its simply too expensive to maintain, even if I do
the job myself. Plus if I drove it all the time I’d be working on it all
the time too.

For some reason, why I share this file there is not thumbnail, also the
video starts 3 seconds in….. I dunno why, you can rewind it and get
those all important 3 seconds a the beginning of the video

Key, to more reasonably answer your question, I have never been stranded by
the Volvo. If you are looking for reliablility though, the S60R is not for
you due to the amount of complexity overall. awd system has its faults,
shocks are $400+ each b/c they are computer controlled… turbo … etc.
All of these things add complexity, and your integra doesn’t have any of
these things. If I was going for something reliable, I’d go for FWD, 4
cyl, non turbo, normal shock setup, 4 wheel discs… basically as simple
as possible. My elantra fills that bill. The reason I have my s60r was
because I wanted stick shift, relatively sporty, and awd. As it turns out,
this is a very tricky combo to find outside of the BMW and Porsche
offerings. I hope this better answers your question

cool video. how reliable are these cars in general ? I have a 97 Acura
Integra with 223K miles and never had a problem but I wanna buy a Volvo but
im kinda hesitant given that ive never owned a European car before.
