With so many cars out there, I can't comment anything without some insight as to what she really desires out of a car. Safety is prolly a concern, but is performance? New or used? Handling? Long term maintenance? DIY friendly? Space? Popularity?

As for the brake rotors warping ... if it's one of those chains with a rotate tires/oil change specials, that'll explain it all. None of those places will care about properly lug nut torque. And for the record, it ain't just Volvo's that have that issue. Many cars with ventilated brakes prematurely warp for that reason - a little while ago, my co-worker's Accord had that, 1k after getting his tires rotated at a "famous" quick-lube place. If there was any clue, my torque wrench was still clicking at even 110 ft./lb.

-- Kane ... since that, he's learning the DIY route.
