[thejosapappa1300]

i wishd id had 5 940 models 1991-1993 and 4 960 models 1991-1994

[Toyotacamry1993]

But like a tank. Strong and reliable, I'd love either a 740,760,940,960,850 and not forgetting the 900 series. all them were true Volvo's. there not made like they used to! :(

[TheJosapappa1000]

i wishd id had some day 960 black. 960 blue and 960 white

[PHAEDRIDER]

[MrsBrownsBoysFeck]

The straight 6 24 valve engine in the Volvo 960 was engineered by Porsche.

[Jimpank90]

is like a volvo you never seen? that thing is very similar in looks with the 940. I have a 1996 volvo 960 2.5e and I love it

[coolakiIlen007]

a 90´s car stiil with stiff rear axle..

[coolakiIlen007]

[MonsterNRGEE]

[VolvoEP]

This was my first car...One you go Volvo, It's VERY HARD to go back.

Long Live Volvo!!!

[zacksalt4]

@VolvoEP My first car was and still is a 1996 Volvo 850. I love my volvo(: I have a friend with a 960, its pretty cool as well(:

[nidzio93]

I dunno why, but i am 17 and i am dreaming about the 900 series. Screw new cars, squares ftw.

[MrsBrownsBoysFeck]

@nidzio93

I'm the same, I'm 19 and love the 'Turbobrick' Volvos. Pity the insurance rules ownership out for me at the moment.

[MonsterNRGEE]

i have one, 1991 Rear wheel drive, inline 6, 2.9L. full leather interior, its a tank

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE Volvo 850, 2.3L I5, all leather, front wheel drive, beautiful green. Nicknamed, The Little Green Tank.". I love my volvo(:

[MonsterNRGEE]

@zacksalt4 those are sweet, is it the sedan?

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE Yep(:

[MonsterNRGEE]

@zacksalt4 inline 5cyl?

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE

Of course(: It just recently acquired its long awaited twin turbos. x)) Went from 214hp to 615hp. 140 was reached with the stock hp, but now its so surpassed. ((: Very much fun to drive.

[MonsterNRGEE]

@zacksalt4 i love how much i get ripped on by people for driving a volvo, get their crappy north american cars would never stand a chance against the 960 i drive.

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE Meee too. haha. At my school there are only 2 Volvo's in the parking lot of 1k +. One being mine and the other being a friends s40 Turbo. And we always get crap because we drive Volvo's. If only they knew how strong and reliable the cars are. They would never again make fun of them again (: haha. I have made a few owners of mustangs and camaros respect me just by one race. Woot woot. lol

[MonsterNRGEE]

@zacksalt4 i had fun up against a little pontiac gran prix tonite, the dickhead was tailgating me, transmission was in sport mode, i slowed right down on him, and when he went to pass i floored it. was tailgating him going 120km in an 80, then when he slowed down i bulletted passed him doing like 5500rpm, it was straight up mental

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE That's the way you do it! haha. I do that all the time to anyone who tailgates me >_> You got a system in yours?

[MonsterNRGEE]

@zacksalt4 its all stalk, the straight 6s have balls of steeel tho :)

[zacksalt4]

@MonsterNRGEE Every Volvo does (: haha

[tenaciousfilm]

@MonsterNRGEE i bet i might have a chance against you actually

[tenaciousfilm]

@MonsterNRGEE volvos are fucking shit, you have a fuckin box momobile

[BrunostNOR]

ah, I could wish I was a teen in the 80's, so that I could live through the 2 best decades of cars and music... ahh, why did I come to this world so late!? :P

[fizher92]

"its a volvo" (driving trough brickwall)

[5thworld2000]

960 will be my next car..

[Artyfil]

so this commercial is telling me that i can smash my brand new (at the time) Volvo 960 through a wall without any repercussions right? imma go buy one NOW

[Halestorm45365]

I drive one of these and all ive run into is problems ....

[redrider250r]

i bet it really can go through a brick wall

[counkev]

You can't do that with a Toyota

[Firebird593]

My 1988 Volvo could probably do that too!

[psykotanks]

The glory days....! Nice old commercial and car.

[lb611]

I love my 1997 960.

It is AWD and a v6. I love it

[PeterTenglund]

@lb611 AWD???? 940/960 never got/had/will have all wheel drive !

[henryusyay]

Is China gonna make money on VOLVO???

[BREN70S]

now a volvo will have a made in china sticker on it ewwwwwwww , sod that , ill be buying an real volvo s 90

[barrskogsv]

@BREN70S No, "Made in China" means that it's built in China. Volvo still has the Swedish factory. The only Volvo that's made in China is the Volvo made FOR China.

[BrunostNOR]

@barrskogsv eh, nope, if you buy a Volvo in the US or in Europe, it is most likely made in a chinese factory. And there is nothing bad about that, they do exacly the same as in the swedish

[barrskogsv]

@BrunostNOR Nope. The Chinese factory only produces cars for the Asian market. And maybe for the US. However, the cars sold in Europe are made in Sweden and Belgium. It's more expensive to import them from China than to build them here, because of customs duty. But within the European Union there are nu custom charges at all. That's why every Volvo sold in Europe also are made here. Even Honda has a European factory in GB where they make cars for the European market.

[jimmytic]

love it car

[jamie88694]

i have wanted a 960 for ages there built like bloody tanks and go on forever u can get around 500k + put of one!!! such a good car

[henseire]

finally I owned Volvo 960 as my 1st car.. very comfort!!!

[1700iDiGuy]

when it crashes through the wall like that...i can believe it could do that! lol

[whattheheck1000]

circa 1990-1991 commercial

[psykotanks]

When Volvo was Volvo and where bulit and looked like Volvo! A individual car!!!!

[mightymagnus]

Some of the Volvo 960 were build by a single person (in the Uddevalla factory), but it became a little bit to expensive for this car. Now the cabriolet C70 is constructed in Uddevalla but with assembly lines.

[kingeddy137]

R.I.P Volvo 1927-1999... :(

[whattheheck1000]

i was scared of volvo's from 1998 to 2004. now i love volvos.

[haardkaar]

So this is the video Top Gear got the idea for the brick wall test. In the cheap car challenge.

[collinsup]

@haardkaar that was fantastic. And that volvo kept on ticking.

[PiranhaJaw22]

I have a Volvo 240 with 196K on it, and the check engine light is on.

[Samurai1568]

I have a pretty close one to the 960, I'm a proud owner of the 940. The car has been running for 15 years and still going strong.

[jiko12]

Great cars !

[jb0177]

Cool... I'm gonna try that next time McDonald's pisses me off...

[BREN70S]

ha ha i never took drive thru quite so literally :)

[turismomtrx]

at first it seemed like any other luxury car sedan commercial until the brick wall

[scatman0707]

HA!! they di that on Top Gear. lol!!!

[stephensamperi]

is there anything unusually bad with this car? i know someone who might get a used one.....

[Njutarface]

no theres not. its probably the best car for low money. my old one went over 500 000 km

[ViolentK17]

i have a 96 960 and noting horribe just matenence costs alot and DONT BREAK THE GLASS ON THE FOG LIGHTS that was the fastest $130 i have ever spent(on just one), good luck

[stephensamperi]

my mom replaced a turn signal lens for about $30 for her 96 850 and we found a trunk lens at a junkyard for like $45. junkyards are cool..

[yehzhaofeng]

I bought a corner light lens for 40 bucks and a mass air flow sensor for about $65. Volvos sure costs a lot to maintain but the car itself lasts for a very long time as long as you do care for it.

[stephensamperi]

they do cost a lot to repair, $1300 for not much more than normal wear and tear. same kind of work on my old cadillac was less than $600.

they never mention cost of maintenance and repairs in european car commercials :)

[FruityLoopsas]

Its a joke.... nobody would show this on tv :DDDDD

[240Grabben]

why?

[professortiki]

"like no Volvo you have ever seen" ;-) Except for the 760 of course...

[MitsubishiKings]

all volvo's from 1975 and up to 2001 are like panzer tanks

[whattheheck1000]

This is about a 1990-1993 commercial.

[vikingwallen]

@MitsubishiKings 1975-1998!!!

[vikingwallen]

@MitsubishiKings if you wanna see a tank look at the volvo amazon

[thaichubby101]

@MitsubishiKings and i think that's good point

[bazookatim]

blysläde racing

[DerAdventurer]

A whole iron continent over wheels.

My mom had one of these. A masterpiece of swedish engineering!

[JGN248]

But the licenceplates belong to a volvo 745GLE from 1990 in Sweden, little strange..

[blastergti]

Cool stuff =D

Heja volvo!

[HassanAhmedAbou12]

That car has a Swedish licence plate.

[Creanda]

Yes it does, and not only that as of today, it is still in traffic.

[Carol1lilja]

Those plates are belonging to those exhibition and photo plates mostlt likely and the car in video a "zero-series" prototype the anyway will crush after that advert. owned before a former test car and when you checked up the VIN on that, not a number were normal, engines never meant to mount ever in 760, gearbox code were indicating on something we never got answer on.

and so on... in infinty. '83 body with '86-87 panel and God knows what more.

[blueberry1980]

And not a single scratch! Now if I only had that car last time I drove through a brick wall! Next test, a cinder block wall!

[Creanda]

well. foam rubber doesn't hurt that much! :)

[aaronpourazar]

Yeah Cars in America cant hit dear but Volvos Can hit moose and still drive VOLVO for life and all you mother fuckers who say no CAn suck my fucking dick! Volvo 200 SERIES is the BEST

[palebeachbum]

Eh, I had an '85 240DL and generally loved the car, but I find the 940/960 and 850 to be MUCH nicer cars. Better comfort, luxury, fuel economy, perfomrance, looks, quieter, smoother, and the list goes on. The 240 is a great car, just too noisy and unrefined for todays standards and compared to the other models I mentioned.

[whattheheck1000]

Hey aaronpourazar, too much profanity.

[902120]

welcome to youtube.

[whattheheck1000]

i've been here since 11/15/2006 i was 13 almost 14 when I joined.

[902120]

Good for you. You should've been used to profanity since being in highschool for a while. Just block it out dude

[fallwaterblues]

Still have my 96 960 132k. Why replace it?

[petershen1984]

My daily driver is a 1992 960 like the advertisement!

[palebeachbum]

Because you're motor is going to fail any day now. Do a search online.

[palebeachbum]

No seriously, the 2.9L V6 has a known defect with the cylinder head I think it is? I read a story of someone's engine failing at 50k miles because of the defect. I'm not Volvo bashing. I LOVE Volvos! I owned one a few years ago and am looking to buy an 850 or S70. My point was that it's a known defect and you should do a search online if you don't believe me. That's all.

[praskovia13]

viva the volvo

[NOTfuckingSCENE]

so good!

[DerAdventurer]

Lol a whole iron continent over wheels. Straight from the 20 Century.

Omg, I love old Volvos. They last forever.

[jwatwater]

volvo, a tank is a cars costume, but that is true no other car is desgined like a volvo, those rolling boxes :)

[Iridium725]

still sqaure..but VERY safe

[Stigern]

thats what I like about Volvo.

[vikingwallen]

@Iridium725 squares are awesome

[soobwhale]

@Iridium725 Still square...still very awesome.

[palebeachbum]

Nice car, but the engine and transmission is crap. The 940 is the same car, minus some luxuries, but has a MUCH better powertrain.

[MitsubishiKings]

ask yourself this: does the Volvo 940 come with a 3.0 liter engine?? the answer is no. And does it have the same good legroom as the 960?? again no. all in all the 960 is a mutch better car.

[palebeachbum]

In terms of creature comforts? Yes. In terms of reliability? Big fat NO.

[felsner1]

The 960 was awesome...

[Stigern]

Correction, it IS awesome!

[wounsel]

The Brick!

[eurofeli]

i used to have one.

and the fuel economy of that car in a motorway it´s just brilliant.

1123 kilometers a single tank of petrol.

[petershen1984]

brilliant!
