This from a former (and still occasionally) Volvo shop mechanic:

The 940s are AS EASY as 240s to work on. They have things that are more difficult, and they have things that are a lot easier. All in all, it is an even trade. The cars themselves are great, and have a lot of nice features.

Every 940 should have standard ABS brakes, driver's (and passenger 94/95) airbags, AW71 or AW71L trans (depends on model) SIPS 92-, many have locking differential, and some have other little niceties. Good seats too. Electronic gizmos, typical of Volvo, tend to fizz out after a while, most are an easy fix. HVAC on all but 940SE is a breeze to work on compared to 240. Distributor parts on rear-mount are more expensive, as are the Regina injection parts (many 940s to 94). In my opinion, they are the top of Volvo's RWD lineup.
