volvos are really sweet...im 20 and id really like a volvo estate (station wagon), they are really fast apparently.  the only thing i dont like about them is that an s40 is a small s60, and an s60 is a small s80..if you know what i meant.  they look the same, but different sizes.

True, that is just the way Volvo's are. But remember the S60 was the first model that had this design ;)
And if you would've test driven all three of them (I have) you'll notice these cars are completely different!

I like the S60 the best (obviously) but a V50 or V70 is also really nice and an S80 is very nice too, but just a little too big for me @ only 34
But mine is nice; it's basically an V70 without the estate part ... if that is what you are refering to. And it's black 8-)

It's a 2.5 litre, 5 cylinder diesel engine which @4000 RPM, boasts out a very impressive 185 BHP while remaing very silent.
The car weighs just under 1500 kilos/3300 pounds, does 0-60 in about 9 seconds and and all that at 40 miles to a gallon ;D

Now didn't that just change your opinion about Volvo's ::)

Right now my ride is an '01 Chevy S10. Not the best chick magnet around, but I have a girlfriend so it doesn't matter. :)

Cars last well in Belgium. No hills, small roads and no speeding - You get a major pain in the wallet, trust me :o
In fact the only thing that is likely to kill you car in Belgium is an accident or it will just die of bordom ;D
