OB - The forum is NOT hosted, run or affliated with RICA or Volvo Tuning in any way shape or form. It is owned by my brother, run by my brother and the rest of the team and is NOTHING to do with RICA or VT!!!!!!!!

Please make sure you have the correct facts before posting :-)

Good choice friend of mine brought a r reg 7 seater in saffron 2wheel drive it was standard low miles mint.He took me out in it i was very very impressed he lent it me for 2 weeks god where do i start rapid comfy addictive are volvos really a old mans car? It drank fuel for fun.Took my other mate in it he loved it that much he got a r reg saffron awd nice motor had a drive of that good not quite as lively as the 2wd .Then he got a rica chip transformed it.It had done about 125000 before it was chipped no problems after.The look on peoples face as you launched of lights for a heavy motor a great drive.

BAD POINTS ?

Fuel economy ha ha had a share in shell optimax.
squealing brakes annoying, sounds like a bus
traction/air bag lights common fault??
air con issues??
stereo can be a bit tempramental.

GOOD POINTS.

Very very fast+addictive.
turns lots of heads in saffron.
really comfy inside.
loads of space.
volvo realiability
volvo quality

Good luck hope you find one.

Just to note this is my views after 2 good friends had them for about 2 years so not all my imformation is correct just what i have come across.

i miss them cars.
