Re: Consumer Report - where's the discussion? ALL

Dennis,

CR's reliability data is from from readers (owners) filling out a survey -- not some guy behind a desk! When compared to the average car - including the Fords you're willing to blame - the Volvos come out as being less reliable than average. It's not a value judgement - the cars usually test well - but a result of the data. Like any mass-produced product, some cars will be perfect, and some will be lemons; you can see that by reading any bulletin board. But where the average V70/850/S80 falls for reliability - that's where the survey results are necessary, not just one or even ten people's experiences. The number of recurring complaints here should be a hint that all isn't well in Volvoland recently.
