I love Volvos. we have had 4 in our family, but i cannot disagree more with you. Volvo 760 turbo (later renamed 740), turbo shat itself around only 80,000km. Volvo 164e from 1973, 3.0liter motor that used more fuel than a 5.0l v8 and rust, rust, rust, and terrible body roll. Volvo s80 - twin turbo straight 6, that driven hard had the worst torque steer (fwd, 200kw), at 100,000km turbo blowing white smoke, and very noisy top end. You get good and bad examples of any brand, 1 million kms is rare for any car on one engine.
