Volvo 940 Saloon
  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Paid 1500 quid for a 133k miler. Can't argue with that really.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not the cheapest car in the world to run, but not the most expensive I've had either. Fuel economy ok as long as you don't thrash the turbo around town.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Big and comfortable. Plenty of luxury for the price.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Was good anyway. Put in a superchip and better fuel pump and BHP jumps to 235, makes it very fast in a straight line, but needs a careful right foot around corners.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing has ever gone wrong on this car.

    Boy racers point and laugh until you leave them standing at the lights.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable, but rear legroom not the best considering how big the car is.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not been nicked yet...

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Don't service at main dealer, find a good turbo specialist instead and save money big time.
