my wife has one Posted by MikeMc [Email] (#2446) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MikeMc) on Thu, 19 Dec 2002 23:04:48 In Reply to: anyone own a volvo xc wagon?, Robb, Thu, 19 Dec 2002 20:46:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My wife has one. She had an 02 for a year. She had problems with the computer (one of 17 in the car I am told). She talked Volvo into giving her a new one; no penalty. She got a new 03 this week.
The car electronics were continuously disabling the startup. "START PREVENTED" was the favorite LED message. Intermittent. Dealer could not find it. Once had to tow the car home (50km), with a taxi for the family following.
My wife is a writer and had just interviewed the president of Volvo Canada for a corporate profile in her next business book. When her car started acting up she called him directly to describe her woes (she can be quite animated).
She got a promise for a new car from the president (swap out; no penalty). The company tried to back out of it about a dozen times, but she stood tough and got the car.
Lots of power, quite, smooth. Handles very well. A little too cushy for my tastes; I like to be connected to the road. Lots of space.
Mike
