A while back I requested info on Volvo's and comparable 4-door
sedans.  Volvo comments included: ancient body style, expensive
to fix fuel injection/fuel filters, expensive to fix period,
high safety standards, good resale, engines last forever,
excellent room inside.  Other cars that were recommended include:
Saab, Peugot, Maxima, Camry, Citation, Thunderbird, Bronco II,
new small Blazer.  The result of all my searching was the purchase
of a 1984 Volvo DL w/options.  Reasons: Most head room/shoulder room
(no sunroof), safety, resale, rep. of engine, first yr. with mettallic
paint for DLs, good handling ability, sturdy ride (no big car ride,
which usually feels like a boat, not a car anyway), hardly any
bells, whistles, annoying voices, flashing lights etc. like on
Datson/Toyota models, that's about it.  If your looking, good luck,
it really pays to check all the options and get only what you want.
