I am more inclined on the VW DSG problem and also both VW and Volvo are under Federal Auto which is not really reputable for their after sales services.

Not sure if there are any Volvo users who are willing to shed some light on this issue?

Not sure what you are implying but the newer volvo's are using ford ecoboost engines and powershift gearbox. Judgeing from how well the car is selling - i dont think you got a reason to be worried about smile.gif

Get the T5 ones...same engine as the Focus ST!

most chasis parts are from ford.

ford isnt cheap as well but there's always EBAY.

to be honest - those expensive parts - will need replacement but the replacement last for a long time. bushing, mounting, etc is very durable.

the only problem with newer cars is electrical and sensory
