Hi , after reading a lot on this forum i can see that a lot of people that complain about their 850 or s70 and compares it to for example the bmw 3xx series, saying that we all shoult trade our trash volvos for a bmw 3xx ,, well first.

The BMW 3xx is not to be compared to the 850 or S70 , because the BMW is smaller! , yes I know what im talking about .. Im almost 2 meters long and the Volvo 850/S70 is a very large car, while the BMW is small (not to mention the Audi a4...)

The BMW also has its share of problems, my friend bougth a brand new bmw 330 ci and hes been in repair shop 3 times the last 5 months, his brand new Audi A6 died after 3 kilometers from the place he bought it....

The Volvo , BMW and Audi , are really good cars. But plz do not try to compare things that arent equal, in size , prize or power....

I own a Volvo S70 2,5 SE , and i just love it , what if I have to change light bulbs every now and then , no problem . The day I crash , I´ll be glad to be sitting in a Volvo....

Some guy here made a big deal about him spending about $400 on light bulbs over a period of 2 years, he was planning to buy a new lexus or BMW i think, and he also owned a brand new car of another brand.. So I belive he could afford the light bulbs on the volvo... :)

Im not trying to say that the S70 i the best car in the world, but ITs the best car for my size of wallet.... If i had the money ofcourse , I wouldnt be driving a S70 .... (More like the 2003 V70R) :)

Have fun with your cars , and respect other peoples choices...
