I also will only let my new drivers (17 and 16) drive Volvos (89 745Ti and 90 244) They don't argue, a Volvo saved their skins once already. I was driving our 82 244, me and the wife up front, kids (about 10 and 9 then) in the back. Everyone belted up. Drunk turns left in front of us. The accident blew the rear axle out from under the 83 Mercury and blew the hatchback apart. Jammed my radiator into the engine and pushed the RF fender over the tire. It went to Volvo heaven that day, and we sat on the curb as the paramedics tended to the tipsy Mercury drivers. No air bags, no ABS, just four people walking home to shop for another Volvo. That's the way it should be!
