Most parts not too overpriced, though much more for genuine Volvo parts.

On the road
Driving
Great to drive long distances, but murder to park without power steering. Quick off the mark.
Performance
Feels slugish, but has the power when needed.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable - starts first time every day. Had few problems with overheating, but replaced a pipe that seems to have done the trick (put this down to age).

Comfortable and plenty of space.
