VOLVO 940 - A TRIBUTE

Some pictures of a vastly under rated motor car. Tarred with much the same brush as its stable mate the 240, many veered clear of the big Volvo and thus missed out on some superlative motoring experiences! The Swedish flagship hereby honoured...

Hi Doug,how do you feel now that Geely( a chinese company)owns volvo.I dont like at all

[tubedougz]

@apexsignal1 - I guess that one is a fairly easy one for me to answer.

I only like the older Volvos, such as 700, 900, and 800 Series (I own four Volvos currently). These were made by VOLVO when they really were proper Volvos.

I recently had a go in the latest S80 - and thought it had the feel of a large Mondeo. It wsan't really very Volvo-like at all.

The best of the modern-ish Volvos are the first S80's and the similarly styled second generation V70's - which, I think, are very good cars.

great video.I just git a 1992 940gl( my 5th volvo, I had 3, 740gle a 850glt). I like volvos I learned my trade on my dads 740.We had it for 22 yrs.And now a coworker had it(he loves it).Volvos are a solid car to teach someone how to drive, and a very reliable car to own(expecailly if its your first car).As I tell people who dont own a volvo. When you know, you know.When you dont you dont.

@apexsignal1 - Thanks for your comment. I've had a 1991 740 GL Saloon, a 1994 940 S Saloon, a 1996 940 Classic LPT Estate - then I bought my first ever brand new car - a Land Rover TD5 Discovery GS7. It was rubbish!

I missed my Volvos so badly I bought an oldish, low mileage 1996 Volvo 850 GLT Estate. I also have a 32,000 mile 940 Celebration Estate - a 1985 (mint) 740 GLT Saloon and a MINT 60,000 mile S90.

Check out my other Volvo vids to see them all! Let me know your thoughts!?

The 940 is an awesome car. My dad owns a 1992 940 GL station wagon and it's a pleasure to drive, like a small limousine :)

Please check out some of my other Volvo videos.

I now own three Volvos. A 740 GLT Saloon, a 940 Celebration (Turbo) Estate (station wagon) and an S90.

Obviously - love 'em!

@tubedougz I'm very young but I'm into cars, and I love Volvo. I think the only bad side of 1980s and 90s Volvos are bad fuel consumption and big motors. (I love it but now it is expensive to run)

Are you from Sweden? I have to thank you, you connected very best from Sweden. What do you think about VOLVO 480 1.7 Turbo?

my volvo 940 is 20 years old and made a trip to the moon and beyond almost 500000 km and it still rolls like a new car

Wonderful song wonderful car, great video but i made me kinda sad, but it brought back lots of memories I want one of these so bad, (my dad drove one when i was a kid) its just such a beautiful car, reminds me a a sharp bisiness suit. Unfortunate the way volvos look now, still pretty and great interiors, but i wish they held out just a little bit longer.
