940T versus 960 850 96

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Punxsutawney on  Sun May 13 15:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Consumer Reports placed the '95 and '97 960 and '98 S90/V90 on it's "Used Cars to Avoid" list in it's April "Annual Auto Issue" this year. ("All of these cars have shown below-average reliability...")

The 850 is not on the "Avoid" list, nor is the 940.

The '98-'99 S70/V70 is also on the "Avoid" list, and owning one, I understand why.

I know you like your car, and I know you liked the one you had before that one. I'm happy that both of your cars have been relatively trouble-free.

You have a sample size of 2 960/SV90s. Consumer Reports receives questionaires on a total of over 500,000 vehicles annually. I'm sure their 960/SV90 sample size is larger than yours.

I hate to disagree with you, but my statements are not unfounded.

Have a nice day, too!

-Phil the Soothsayer
