Volvo 940 Saloon
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of car for the money.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A bit thirsty. Parts are pricey, or so I'm told - I wouldn't know, as it's only done 140,000 miles.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    New bushes and Monroe shocks make handling tidy. Precise steering, and a joy to park (sooooo square!).

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    155 bhp is plenty. Revs a bit high at speed, but will cruise all day with no problem at all.

    Even at ten years old, it still looks the part.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great seats; settled on the road; drive all day and come back for more.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has an aftermarket immobiliser.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Partly fantastisc, partly bad - mostly due to takeover of my local dealer by b-awful Pendragon group.
