My father loved Volvos. His last 5 cars before retiring were a succession of 140 series and 240 series saloons. All bought new and each kept for about 3 years. I even learned to drive on one of the 240s.
I've had a couple of my own over the years, an 850 2.5 20V saloon, and a 740 SE estate and had a long-ish term loan of a T5R estate. That was very quick.
But y'know what, I really never "got on" with them. They were OK, don't get me wrong, but I can't say they were my favourites. Lots of people say they find Volvo seats really comfortable, but I never did find them all that good as long distance cars in that department. I'm not an especially odd shape, height or weight, but I just couldn't get properly comfortable in any of them.
I'd still consider a V70/90 I suppose, if the deal was good, but they'd not be at the top of my shopping list.
Quite nice styling on some of the modern ones.
