Well, after many many years as a Volvo driver - having started with a 240DL, then a 740 Turbo, an 850 wagon, an S70 and finally an S40, I bought a FORD! yes the new Ford Focus seduced me with its high ratings for reliability, safety and its nice ride and good looks. I never thought I would buy an American car but the Honda Fit and the Toyotas just felt cheap when I was used to Volvos. The Ford felt solid and quality.

We're going to be putting our 2001 S40 up for sale, with 98k or so miles on it - it has been the most reliable car I've ever had but we don't need 2 cars my husband takes the train to work. I have never had a brand new car before, and the new Volvos are just too expensive for what you get IMO.

Thanks for all the support and help over the years keeping our Volvos in good shape!
