If you are in the market for a new car and Volvo is one of the brands you are considering you've made a smart start in your search for a new vehicle. There are several good brands to choose from but if you value safety, reliability, durability and yes even luxury then Volvo deserves your serious consideration.
As kids most of us can remember seeing Volvos in high school parking lots. These boxy looking 10 -12 year old veterans of family road trips, daily commutes and trips to little league and soccer games bear the scars of their encounters with curbs and parking lot dings and had been passed down, sometimes for the second time, to a son or daughter as their first car. Not particularly stylish but parents knew they were durable and above all else…safe.
Top 5 Reasons to Buy a Volvo
The boxy chassis and big flat hood are part of yesteryear. Today Volvos sport crisp, clean lines that are influenced by aerodynamics rather than the rugged country roads of Sweden. Interiors have an upscale feel, engines can come turbocharged, technology is state-of-the-art and 2014 saw the biggest "freshening" of model designs in years. The 2014 Volvo isn't your Daddy's Volvo.This is a perfect time to take a hard look at the Volvo lineup and here are XX reasons why:
- Safety
Volvo's safety record is legendary and its reputation as one of the safest vehicles on the road today is backed up by high ratings from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In fact in a recent test of front crash prevention systems on 74 models only seven were awarded the rank of "superior" and two of those, the S60 sedan and XC60 SUV were Volvos. Of special note is a feature that anyone who has been in the shopping districts of Naples on a weekend or Bonita Beach road headed to the beach is Volvo's new improvements to its front to rear crash avoidance system that now can identify pedestrians and cyclists as well as automobiles. - Styling and Interior
Clearly the days of the boxy look are gone. The only similarities the 2014 Volvo exteriors have with their predecessors from decades ago are the same name and logo. Today's Volvos have sleek, sophisticated looks in the European tradition guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go. The exteriors are impressive and the interiors delight. Leather seats, wood trim like only the Swedes can do, easy to read instrument cluster, and a concert hall quality audio system with eight speakers are just a few of the amenities enjoyed by Volvo drivers. - Powertrain
With three turbocharged engines available, a 2.5 L inline 5 cylinder, 3.0 L inline 6 cylinder and a 3.2 L inline 6 cylinder generating 240 horsepower all Volvo models have the "oomph" to make driving fun and passing a safe maneuver. Couple the engine with a six speed automatic transmission (shift paddles available) and you get a line of powerful vehicles with impressive EPA ratings. - Overall Value
Volvo's value starts with the MSRP. Compared to its German, Japanese and domestic completion, a comparably equipped Volvo will often be thousands of dollars less expensive. But value is about more than just price. You're going to love the driving experience, the reliability and the peace of mind that comes with Volvo's safety features. And if you're looking for a car you can pass down as a "first car" to a child or grandchild, Kelly Blue Book recently named a 9 year old Volvo S60 as one of the top 10 used cars under $10,000. Volvos just keep going. - Uncommon Service
When buying a new car you have to ask yourself "what happens after the sale?" The Volvo comes with a four year 50,000 mile warranty but who is going to do the warranty and scheduled maintenance service?
