I have a friend and of course, I recommended a Saab. I was going to suggest a 9-3, say, 2007 or so, something around then. However, I'm not sure how much they would be willing to put up with on parts and service (I on the other hand have no problem driving greater distances to get my car to a great mechanic, stock up on some parts etc..). So, I naturally also suggested Volvo (gosh I wish Volvo was the one that went under and not Saab :( OK back to the point).
So, does anyone follow Volvo much? Have they changed since they've been bought by Geely? Are they as good? Safety still an important driving factor in their engineering? This would be for a young professional, single person. I'll do some searching on models and the like, but I guess I wanted to get an idea on how they're doing.
Thanks for your comments.
