Otherwise after that day they suck giant donkay ballz... Like 1950's nuclear bomb manual get under a desk and cover your head... Same thing when driving newer volvos... might as well just bring a gun with you because if you get hit by another car your gonna need it to take away the life long pain...
Might as well have an emblem of F O R D on the fkn hood.
How do I know this, I owned three of them, all completely wrote off in minor accidents all accidents were some dumbass that didn't know what a red light was or stop sign or just plain blind...
NEW VOLVO's SUX
Should rename them FOLVOS
Volvo's still score pretty high in the leading Euro-NCAP test crash research. Have a look around their website and see most cars get pretty messed up,especially SUV's from the side.
And driving a tank is a very unsafe way to crash. The energy of the crahs is not reduced in any way so it all comes into your body. Meaning as much as hat you probably die at a speed of 20 km/h

In a safety cell that crumples you can JUST survive a crash of 50 km/h head on,if you re lucky. Quite an improvement.
If they didnt see you all three times,you should maybe change your technique of driving. Arent you learned to check before and recheck on the beginning of an intersection for other cars ???
PS:
It takes most Ford components from the german ones,not the shitboxes they sell in the USA. I dotn know though,what they change to the Volvo's when re"designing" them for the US market :o
