Yes i'm sure i will get quite a response from this posting, but i just have to say that there are few better cars out there than the volvo 960, yes it isnt quite the prettiest of motors, well honestly its boxy, very boxy. However underneath that ugly, boxy exteriour lie two very impressive things. A new definition of comfort inside with the full electrics, the excellent standard stereo, the full leather interior and all the extras. Secondly you cannot fault the 960's amazing engine, mine has a 2.5 litre 24 valve monster in it. For a big boxy safe car it sure can move, with quick(ish) acceleration and a blistering top speed. What else would anyone want from an executive car. Ok well maybe some of you want the nice exterior to go with it and thats fine, but if you are looking for something a bit different definately give it a look.
