Thanks for the response. However, I talked to my mechanic today; he said, "I would not buy this car". I was surprised, of course, as I was ready to buy. He said oil changes are $150 and after four years or so, repairs are very expensive. I trust my mechanic. A beautiful car, to be sure, but long term maintenance/repair has to be considered.
Then what car does your mechanic recommended? I think that the maintenance cost of Volvo isn't expensive compare to German's and the cars which were assumed luxury segment. Of course Hyundai and Japaneses car were cost less than Volvo.
Leno, Thank you so much for the best overview of the vehicle I am considering purchasing. I have a few questions: 1) Is the car equipped with a spare tire? 2) Is there any benefit to a 19" tire as opposed to an 18" other than appearance? Is the price between the two tires that different? 3) Regarding the side mirrors - do they fold inward?Again, thank you for your attention to detail Very helpful.
1. You need to check your local dealership whether it is available or not. The Korea market where I live in, Volvocar Korea do not take any kind of customer order that build the car. However, the other market such as US, Europe, they accept individual order form from customer and that means they can choose spare tire or repair kit. 2. Better straight stability, beside small ratio of tire wall gives traction feedback while cornering. By the way, the price of 19 would be expensive approx 20%. Size 18 is very popular and it means less cost, various choice you can. 3. Folding inward. Thanks for your watching~
Hey Leno! This is personally one of my favourite cars. I am struggling to decide between the S60 T5 Inscription and the new G20 BMW 330i M Sport. Which car do you think will be more reliable of the two?
３台目のVOLVOです。スタイル走りと一番お気に入りですがハンドルヒーターを付け忘れたことが唯一のミスです。

Well, if put myself in your shoes, I would save more money to buy M not M pack. Because BMW is specialized for fun driving. Both are reliable I think.
