Use the links from the "Features" menu to find the issues for the 960/S90. The body is from the 700/900 series with an upgraded suspension system. The engine is the 6 cylinder version of the new 4/5/6 cylinder design group. There are a few issues unique to the 6 but no major disastors. The car got a "don't buy" rating for problems from consumer reports when comparing it to other cars of the same vintage. Mine is still one of the best cars I've ever owned. Reliability expectations for today's new cars are very high. If you stay in tune with your car, with respect to repairs, I think this series of Volvos is a super value. Suspension and safety equal to BMW/Mer.. but with a less expensive drive train.

My $0.02, hope this helps.
