I've always liked the new Volvo style, but the new S60 in 2012 came out blazing. I had the premium design, all leather interior with, at the time, first auto-stop and accident prevention feature that was standard on all Volvos. That alone made the car 3X safer than other similar cars in the price range. The handling was always so smooth, love the turning radius, there wasn't any noise or crackling like in cheaper brands. I love that the interior surfaces were all soft, not cheap hard plastic, it makes a huge difference when you get into and out of the car banding, hands or feet by accident. It felt like the quality was all around me. I loved the connectivity to my iPhone, was always so seamless, and the trunk with folding seats was A+.
The S90 is the last remaining iconic rear wheel drive Volvos produced and the 1998 model year was its swan song. The S90 production was only about 18 months. This model not only competes very well with its European cousins such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi but excels in overall fit, finish, performance and reliabilty. The S90 has such understated elegance, that belies its true heritage. Make no mistake it is a true Volvo with safety a paramount issue and was the first to employ side air bags in this model year. Although some 17 years now into service, not many are available in the pre owned market. Many of the S90's were used as transportation for royalty, diplomats, executives and UN duty the world over based upon the safety measures.
Volvo gives you luxury import quality, at a price lower than that of BMW, Benz, Lexus, etc. Where the other luxury import cars have mono colored bodies and cockpit looking dashboards, the beauty of a Volvo is subtle. The body of the S80 is classy looking, without looking racy. The interior is rich looking, without looking like you're in a fighter jet cockpit!
