A day of test drives, demonstrations, and many other surprises! The 2013 Volvo Owner’s Day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28 at Volvo Cars of North America headquarters. The event will be open from...

loved this !

My '01 XC is hands down the best car i ever had! No major problems that weren't worked out in the first few years of ownership. Wear and tear, that's all. Today it has 170,000+ miles on the...

thinking you are right art....

ian-

this has been awesome to follow! each evening, one of the first things i do is to check for new posts by you here and on the blog. this is something i've wanted to do for a few years and...

Grew up in a Volvo family, the first being a '74 145 I remember as a kid in school. Everyone always thought it was so ugly but we loved it. Between my parents and I we've owned that wagon, three 2...

any chance the swede's are interested in taking back the brand? didn't they or aren't they doing that with saab? god, this really is a bummer to read.... i had no idea volvo was losing so much. ...

always thought your's was one beauty CCB. very sad to hear it is no more. hope your son was okay.

Just curious if any members have run Vredestein Sportrac 2 tyres on their XC ? The bicycle tyres this company produce are awesome and I have read many good things about these tyres on random...

I loved my first generation WRs. I had them on for nearly three years and got more than twice the mileage than i have from this G-2 set-up. Which are you running?

Very nice car btw. [thumbup]

I've always been a fan of Nokian tyres and have run them on the XC without regret since we bought her.

That being said; these tyres have turned out to be complete rubbish! I purchased them 25 May...

Damn, that's harsh. :cool:

My MY01 has been one of the best Volvo's we've ever owned and we've been driving them since 1974. Never left me stranded other than a dead battery which turned out to...

I've had a wheel skin on my '01 since the week I brought it home. It went on in about an hour and a half, the grey colour matched the wheel almost spot-on and it still looks fantastic 7 years later.

I once read somewhere some time ago that this was a measure taken when Volvo was getting a great deal of heat concerning their ratings in pedestrian accidents. I think it's about the same time they...

Best car I've ever owned. Would do it all over again given the opportunity.[thumbup]

95k last week on mine and everything seems fine. Not wanting to jinx myself, I still stand fast that this has been a very giving car for me with only routine maintenance.

BTW: '96 854 145k. ...

I disagree on the criticisms of the MY08 XC70. Volvo already offers smaller automobiles and apparently will be offering other smaller variants on current models for those that prefer smaller sized...

Just had my MY'01 [88,000 miles] inspected and the original brakes/rotors, etc are still good to go. Man, I never would have expected this sort of life for this car. Fantastic! [thumbup]

Hey John, I just replaced my last set of WR's on the XC at 28K. Considering everything about the tyres over the past 2 years (handling, quietness, performance, etc.), I'm content with the lifespan....

Not much of a problem to do it yourself. The bulb cost $18 if I remember correctly. I've also had the dealership do one to the tune of $60 something.

Do you service at Keystone Volvo?

Pro Volvo deo gratias. Per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

"Thank God for Volvo. For ever and ever. Amen"

I think you're wrong. It has the front end of an 850 and I'm nearly positive it couldn't be anything other than front wheel drive.:confused:

Still, stupid and ugly. The dreamer is correct in...

HA! Awesome. Someone else beat you to it. Check out xc-fan.de's site.
