I cannot imagine what a Swedish brickboard would look like in the winter 850 1996

Greetings all, I love my (second)850T Wagon, but I have to chuckle at all the cold-weather related problems: Blower motor problems, PNP switch failures, heated mirrors not working, rear washer not working, heated seats not heating, frozen intercooler/no acceleration. I've had all but 2 of these happen to me in the past few months. And I can only imagine that there are 2 months left of winter, so I'll probably get whacked by the other 2 also.

Don't get me wrong, and no flames please, as I really like the cars. But it gets to be more of a challenge when a car made in FREAKING SWEDEN has so many failures & problems due to cold weather. The new Volvo campaign around here is "Volvo owns the winter." Are you kidding me?? Yeah, just like a husband owns his wife.

Anyway, I'm stuck with the wagon for awhile I guess. I don't know of any other 220 horsepower vehicle that can carve corners while carrying 8-foot 2x4's and 10-foot pieces of galvanized pipe in climate-controlled comfort. As long as the blower motor is working, that is. : )

Hope all is well with everyone.
