Here we go again, someone spreading negatives & bad-mouthing a proud brand name product with no specifics. I wish you would either state what your personal problem with the product is, before you start bad-mouthing them.
If you knew anything at all about the automotive business, you would know the Chinese are the corporate owners of the
Volvo name, but the product is still built in
Sweden as well as a number of other countries. If you don't know the truth, please do not bad mouth a good product just because you may have had a bad experience yourself.
I have driven
Volvo cars for the past 50 years & never had a problem. I have accumulated more than 300.000 MILES on more than just a few of them, so I think I know what I am talking about; furthermore, many so called "problems" are often found to be caused by improper, or neglected
maintenance ... & no, I do not
work for Volvo, & have been retired for more than 20 years in the trucking industry. I do own some old Volvo cars with very high mileages & they all continue to run well ...
because they are properly maintained.
Although I have never owned a Volvo
marine engine, I have no doubt they are equally as good if well maintained. So enough of the bad mouthing unless you have some proven facts to back up your comments. You run the risk of becoming known as a "muck slinger"
