Mom has a 91,740, non turbo, B230F, 138,000. This Car keeps getting hit by other cars - seems jinxed! No major problems. Much annoyance with the rotor warpage too often. Found the Bendix/Rex/Regina system to be trouble free, except I never could get any instructions on how to perform a compression or rpm test. No one can tell me. I have asked about that here at this site and never got any replies. Getting ready to throw in the towel on this Volvo. I still got my 240 and am currently slowly restoring it. Anyway, Mom is tired of the 91 - feels it is jinxed, as I said before.
Don't want to ask a Chevy Dealers his/her opinion of a Chevy, know what I mean? But I know you guys love good well built cars - cars worth putting money into. My brother has had many very carefree Toyotas and Consumer Reports highly recommends them. Have mixed opinions on CR but I feel they called it right on the Toyotas. I have many mixed opinions on cars depending on the particular model and year. "Nobody makes em all good all the time." Anyway, I always wanted ask this FYI type question at this site. Btw, I didn't bother to put Volvo the list, as I know you all like em. Mom did too, but is spooked about em now. I know how you guys feel about them. I'm just curious to know your objective and subjective opinion of other cars. Also, I have no knowledge of any other car enthusiast sites like this. Include SUV's too, if you wish to give an opinion. What do you think of the Ford Explorer's in light of the Firestone tragedy? Btw, is that still ongoing? ... What is the verdict? ... similar to the bad press given by CR years ago on the Rodeo SUV?
Here is my list:

Thanks for your opinion.

PS. I left out Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Porsche, as Mom is not in that market anymore, if ever. Mercedes-Benz has no aftermarket parts available and forced you to buy dealer parts. Rolls-Royce, too much $$$, too impractical for the average person for other reasons.
