Garbage

Nice to drive and look at but numerous mechanical problems. Overevving problem required new accelarator mechanism. Knocking noise from engine due to worn bearings requiring new engine after only 3 years and 65K miles. Volvo unwilling to contribute to cost of what is clearly a faulty product. Not impressed and after having volvos for 10 years will nervier buy one again due to response of volvos customer service department.
