Volvo Quality S80

You think that Volvo QC is not what it should be for an expensive car?

Today's WSJ has an article about how bad things have gotten at Mercedes. According to a recent JD Powers survey " The J.D. Powers study, which surveyed some 156,000 car owners, found that five-year-old Mercedes vehicles had 296 problems per 100 vehicles, compared with an average of 285 for autos of the same age by other luxury makers and an overall industry average of 382. Drivers were questioned about 137 potential problem areas in nine overall categories: interior, exterior, transmission, engine, features/controls, ride/handling/braking, seats, sound system and heating/ventilation/cooling. Mercedes showed the biggest declines in transmission and features/controls." My S80 may not be perfect, but it is pretty damn good considering!!
