Volvo vs. Chevrolet (GM) 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be 850 owner on  Tue Mar 18 17:58 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello everyone ----

I have owned 3 Volvos in my life. But I have also owned 2 Chevrolets. I use a Chevrolet as a daily driver (I drive all day at work) and my 850 for fun and games. I must admit, I have been very happy with my Chevrolet cars (1991 Corsica and '92 Lumina APV). They have been extremely reliable and engineering isn't THAT bad as people have made out American cars to be. I feel like my Chevys can take a lot more abuse than my Volvo can. And Volvos seem a lot more temperamental and picky when it comes to repairs and parts. The bottom line however, is that nothing puts a smile on my face more than driving my 850. But I feel that GM cars are excellent "beaters" to have for work. I have used a 240 once for work, and repairing it can seem obscure at times when compared to the straight-forwardness of American cars. Anyone agree?? Don't get me wrong, owning a Volvo is worth more than its quirks : )
