OK, Snofun3, not I realize you have a deep seated hatred for Volvo's with window stickers. Maybe you had neighbor with one and their dog's barking kept you up all night? Here is a link that shows style and size of the Honda Civic in 1986 Civic Funny, that looks nothing like a 5 series, maybe your confusing years. Here's what Volvo was building in 1986 (although mine was the wagon) Volvo |
I just looked up safety ratings via Google: Honda: 1982-2004 Civics were assessed in the Used Car Safety Ratings 2006 on their level of occupant protection. (1984-1987) - "significantly worse than average" Here Volvo: (1984-1987)-"significantly better than average" Volvo cars have a reputation for comfort, solidity, safety and longevity. Older models were often compared to tractors, partially because Volvo AB was and still is a manufacturer of heavy equipment, earlier Bolinder-Munktell, now Volvo Construction Equipment. The average age of a Volvo being discarded is second only to Mercedes at 19.8 years. Reliability is considered better than average. Last (and really not on topic for our private auto war :^) Safety data on vehicles large enough for me to conduct business. SUV's WEIGHT/SCORE TOP FIVE Chevy Suburban 5,759/166.45 Cadillac Escalade GMC Yukon Denali Chevy Tahoe (tie) 5,372/155.26 Lincoln Navigator NEXT FOUR Ford Expedition (tie) 4,890/141.33 Mercedes-Benz ML320 4,396/137.42 Nissan Pathfinder Infiniti QX4 (tie) 4,4147/134.58 BOTTOM FIVE WEIGHT/SCORE Jeep Wrangler 3,322/96.01 Subaru Forester 3,171/91.65 Toyota RAV4 2,908/90.98 Dodge Durango 4,657/89.27 Jeep Cherokee 3,457/77.33 Note GMC, Tahoe & Surburban, (all the same car) are top of the heap and really a nice car at lease price (in this market) at $318.00 a month. |
