I had this car for 2 years, and so far so good. As long as you are aware of regular maintenance schedule for this car, it will be very good to you (i.e., timing belt every 50k, oil change every 4k, etc.). I've replaced one pair of tires for rear, changed driver side window regulator, passenger side window switch and moonroof switch. I actually need to recharge AC and change AC blower, simply because this is an old car. I think any car over 15 years old need these things changed. As far as driving, this is one of the best I ever had. I can definitely use more power, but I don't drive like a teenager any more, so the car is keeping me in check.

This is my Eighth Volvo. Bought with 126,000 miles, now has 132,000 miles. I am always pleased with the comfort of Volvos. Just as reliable as a Mercedes, but half the cost to maintain. Plan in keeping this one for many years. Will most definitely own more of them in the future.

Quality and ease of use properly describe the 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo. I bought this car with 126,000 miles. It was in excellent condition and still is. A little bit of care is all that is needed. It's amazing the power of the 4 cylinder turbo. Parts may be a little expensive but the ease of replacement and the longevity of the effected repairs is well worth the price. If this were an american car it would be in the junk yard by now.

I wish I could buy another!

Purchased used with 87,000. I have put into it about 3,800 dollars in almost ten years. It now has 216,000 miles and still runs like the day I got it. I have never missed an oil change or fluid change and have done then at 3,000 miles not the recomended 5,000. parts can be exspensive but look on the internet and get the part you need for 50- 75% off and have you local shop install it.

Classy

This car is now 12 (almost 13) years old and people still comment on how nice it looks, and are suprised to hear that it is a '92 (they think it is newer). It is white with black trim and although I have retouched about a dozen very small dings in the paint, the overall finish is excellent. I bought this used Volvo in '99, with 86,000 miles, and it now has 140,000 and still runs great. I take it in for regular maintenance, which is costly, but the car has great pickup-and-go when needed and allows me to feel as safe as one can feel in a car.

WHAT AN AWESOME CAR!!!!

My dad bought his 940GL used 2 years agoat 114,000 miles. Now it has 140,000. The previous owner took such good care of this car. Since my dad bought it, he's had to replace nothing, not even brake pads.He drives the car 40 miles to work on way everyday and its never left him stranded. The ride is unsurpassed. I own a '90 240DL and this car puts mine to shame.

This car is without a doubt the best car I've ever owned. Only had minor mechanical problems. Routine maintenance is a little on the expensive side but it's worth it. The car has never left me stranded and with the exception of some fading on the molding looks as good as it did when purchased. Great factory paint job.

My father bought this car back in 1992 when it was new. It has proven to be one heckuva car, and it only has 92,000 miles on it, with many more to go. Acceleration is a little on the slow side, but the power of the engine is overwhelming. I still get complements on it!

I've owned the following Volvos: two 240s; two 740s; one 780 Bertone; and two 940s. This 940 Turbo is, everything considered, the ultimate Volvo satisfaction. I never knew how much zip and fun the turbo added to the four cylinder engine until I got this 940. It is the icing on the cake of all the other admirable Volvo qualities. I've put 18K miles on it, changed the oil and filter myself every three thousand miles, and had virtually nothing to repair beyond regular maintenance things like brake pads. What a car!

The B230F 4 cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection Volvo was purchased new. MPG is City 20 and Highway 28. It has a driver's side airbag only and side impact protection. Even with its box-like exterior (which most Volvo purist enjoy) and plain but functional interior, the car has been a pleasure.

I bought this as a used car several years ago. It has been a great car, overall. I have made some repairs, but I still think this is an above average car. It's highlights are: a great ride on the interstate, best engine in the business in terms of reliability, roomy, good gas mileage. Negatives: plain interior, low power around town, Volvo factory parts are kind of expensive. Overall, this is a first rate car.
