    Yes it is safe. And yes, your dauighter will hate you for making her drive such a dependable and safe car. This is hip for the 40-and-over crowd.

    I don't know, I heard a 17 year old in Vancouver ask for an Evo, knowing he wouldn't get it. His second choice was the S40 Turbo.

    Not much out there that's safer than a Volvo! They have a long tradtion of focusing on safety and quality.

    Volvo pioneered "Safety" as the 2 who staredt it all in 1927 stated their cars were for safety, long before any other manufacturer said anyhting about safety. Most manufacturers have copied Volvos safety firsts, so alot of cars on the market share in that safety aspect, but Volvo outruns them all with real life testing and learning from crash scene data, not to mention their state of art testing facility in Sweden. And over there they contend with over 1,000 pound moose & elk in the roads!
