Interior quality is quite good. No hard plastic, no cheap pieces. Wood splashed around the cabin.

What model 9-3? I heard the more powerful engine coupled with front-drive made for white-knuckle torque steer.

2004 9-3 Convertible. Fully Loaded.
210 hp Turbocharged 4.
Not too much torque steer

looks much better! :thumbup:

I love it! I think even the current ones have a nice shape, but the new S80/V70/XC70 is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe it will drive better, too...

so i'm bumping a two month dead thread.
oh my fookin' god. :iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

HAHAHA funny story (anecdote)
When I was a little kid (before Fix or Replace Daily took over) that button DID pop the trunk. My mom was getting her typical new england wagon serviced and i was playing in the cars in the showroom. I asked a guy, who just so happened to be the owner of the dealership if the remote popped the trunk. He said no. I said can I see? I took the remote, pressed twice... pop. He told my parents never to take me in ever again :rofl:

I stopped trying to sell my volvo recently, the issues have been blowing out of control over the last week. My 10 month old car with 8k on it has:
defective windows, locks AND mirrors
bad transmission (bucks when you give it gas)
speakers the stealer blew are STILL fookin' broken
radio goes nuts
remote never works
AND
it gets 15 MPG. :gun:
The only thing worse than the cars themselves is the service. Its going back to the third $tlr on friday, when they will give my parent a loaner (NOT ME, who PAYS for the fookin car) that i am not "allowed" to drive.:thebird:
and then it goes to 21+ days @ stlr...
Fill in the rest (I don't think i should say publically)

(hint, any suggestions?)
[/rant]

Write to Volvo? Bring it to a different dealer? Bring it to a Swedish-specialty garage? (quite a few where I live...)
Keep being really persistant..don't yell....try to talk to the highest ranking person at the dealer...maybe the manager...
good luck.

Three managers, and the epitomy of why I hate NJ. (V/NA)
This new manager seems to be decent and might help. thanks :)
