What they’re saying

“I've been a car guy for most of my life, am a huge fan of wagons, and was a Subaru aficionado, to the point of owning exclusively Subarus - up to 5 simultaneously - for about 20 years, but didn't/don't care much for their newer design language and decided to go a bit upscale.”

“I'm not much of a DIY'er; limited knowledge and limited physical toolset. But I'm always open to learning new things and looking to make my wagon even more distinctive with some cosmetic mods and hopefully performance mods, so will be consulting the community here on those efforts, this being my first Volvo.”
