You know, I LOVE my 325, but Mach doesn't strike me as the BMW type.

As far as I remember, Volvo is one of the safest cars. I love the Swedes

Mach said:

I dig. Once u drive a bimmer.....it's hard driving another car again.

Graycap23 said:

a BMW in hill and moutain terrain, sounds practical

horatio said:

In that case, Range Rover but put aside $4,700/year for service.

Mach said:

As I said before. I love the Swedes

I still say go for the Volvo. Doesn't matter what model. They're all very safe, sturdy and reliable.

ArielB said:

Volvo does make one hell of a dependable car.

I knew I didn't like them for a good reason

The problem with AWD which I'm sure you already ran into is that if you read the fine print in the owners maual You can not buy just one tire when you have a blow out, it needs all 4. This is never explained by the salesmen when the car is sold. Instead the owners wait and get hysterical with me when one tire ends up being $690.00

I did not know that. Why?

Graycap23 said:

The new tire has a different rolling diameter than a used one, the transfer cases for AWD as compared to 4x4 can not handle the differenc. My company won't touch just one for liability reasons.

That being said Subaru's are very well constructed though passionless cars

ThirdandFinal said:

Intersting. Thanks.

I think Horatio was on the money with the Volvo recommendation...the Volvo Cross Country is AWD, looks great and safe too...
