Vlad,

I guess that I've been luckly. The only electronic failure has the been the ABS controller. The light switch and front turn signal indicator sockets were replaced under the recall--although neither had failed.

The plastics look very good, mostly due to being painted. But It seems almost impossible to remove them without breaking off a tab or clip. And the buckboard suspension sure takes a toll on fasteners and supports. Kudos to "PlastiFix".

And, I have learned the art of molding parts. This is not a skill usually required for a new car.

OTOH the plastics in my wife's Honda aren't any more durable than those in tthe Volvo. Neither are they quite as upscale looking.

There is no question that the 70series require a lot of TLC to stay in pristine condition. Whether there is more or less required than other Euro brands I couldn't say.

Anyway, it still gives me a lot of smile per mile.

Bryan
