My family had a volvo limo when i was younger, i didn't have an
inkling of cars back then but i thought it was pretty decent. Then
came the 80s-90s period where Volvo acquired the reputation of
being the 'safest' car in the market. That was about the last i
heard about Volvo i suppose.
In recent context, Volvo made a gross and i do mean gross mistake
in coming out with their s60-80 models which featured that 'chinese
coffin' look (if you don't know what i'm referring to, take a
closer look at volvos on the road, from the rear.)
Currently, their SUVs are pretty decent, only matched by cayenne
and RX300. But one model i realised that hasn't received enough
fanfare is their s40 model. Something like what the IS200 is to
lexus, a small sporty coupe type of car. I saw one on the roads the
other day, which puzzled me cause i thought it wasn't brought in.
It had the sports edition i've seen on the net, with a spoiler and
sports rims and stuff, in black.
Now sometimes, when we're overly exposed to japanese cars, good
solid cars like the s40 gets ignored and glanced over. So for those
who are looking for a 'young' chiongster or rather excecutive car
with a budget of 100k to 125k, i highly reccommand this classy
alternative to your IS200s and Beemer 3 series.
