Yea, but they're safe!


  Actually this is not true anymore,they may be safe but are no better than any other car available today.  This wasnt always the case though,when Volvo actually owned the company and built their own unique cars they were much safer than the average NA built car.

  Just ask Ralph Nadder! :devil

They crash tested a 8 year old Volvo recently and it still filled modern safety standards. Very good option for a young family who wants safety with a budget.

 Ralph Nadder made himself into what he is today killing the Corvair.............which was NO were near as unsafe/deadly as VW bug. He rightly reasoned bug had popular support, wereas Corvair was relatively new and no widespread support. A leech is a leech is a leech.
                                      And yes, I've owned both, 64 bug parked outside my window now.          JGroth
