[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16058811, member: 181885"] My DD is an '08 Volvo S40T5. I bought it when my '98 Explorer crapped out in early spring of 2011. Overall it has been a good car. The fixes were pricey, some of the issues were downright retarded, but it has carted me across the country multiple times and been reliable. I give it a solid B+. The dumbest issues with it were: -The steering column lock failure (stranded my wife and I on our honeymoon until I smashed the thing with my fist enough times that it released -"Hotbox" failure, leading to excessive crankcase pressure and lack of ventilation -The sunroof gutter drain tube disconnected in the b-column, leading to a hurricane's worth of water in the dash, floor, and vents -Electrical/programming gremlins- fart the wrong way and it throws the car in limp mode or immobilizes it. Bring it to a dealer, have them reset the computer or reflash it, and it works like new for a few years. [/QUOTE]
