Volvo vs. Saab 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill S. on  Sun May 25 06:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Kirk, despite the fact that my wife and I both drive '00 V70/S40...we bought a used '99 9-5 for our daughter to take to college! The good news, It's quiet, comfortable,smooth, well built, and loaded with standard features!!!!!! The bad news...the traveling salesman (we're guessing!) put 72k on the carin a year and a half...probably maxed out the Turbo too many times, so after we had had the car for a short time....of course the Turbo went kahooy! 1K later we're back i business! I guess my recomondation would be to try to get a non turbo! I have 69K on my S40......but I've never punched it out and I change the synthetic oil every 4-5 k....si I don't think I'll have that problem any time soon! The Saab is a great car and like the Volvo's.....VERY SAFE!!!!!!! Good luck, Bill
