I want to go with another Volvo because I'm used to them, they're super comfy and safe, and above all else, have the best ride out of all the cars I have driven!
If anyone knows, what's the difference between the engine in this car and my S60 2. I know I will be better on gas, but did my old car have a better, zippier engine? Just want to know what to expect using my old car as a comparison. What kind of fuel should I give this car? I always did 87 with my old car, mainly because money is tight. But I understand that this is a premium car, and it is recommended for maintaining it that you use more premium fuel.
My Dad said I'll be fine with 89, but what do you guys think? Going to get a warranty, for an mi car I think I need an aftermarket one. Is that something I should go with for this car? I think they were originally trying to give us 24 months 12, miles, but another dealer was giving us better so they matched it in the end.
I wanted it through a Volvo dealer because, well, it's a Volvo! Thanks so much guys! Slow acceleration - it could be normal - it could be a slipping transmission. Find a Volvo forum and ask other owners how fast it's supposed to be. Have your mechanic drive it. Fuel grade. Best thing to do is to buy several tanks of each kind of fuel and log the MPG's. If 89 gives you better efficiency, use it.
The engine can burn either grade of fuel but it retards the timing with the lower grade. That lowers the MPG's. It may be less cost per mile to use Warranty - I don't like them. I rather pay for the repairs when and if they happen. I've only had one vehicle that needed a major component in 45 years of ownerships.
Do you have the cash to pay for a warranty? If you're adding it to your monthly payments, it doesn't make sense. You're prepaying for repairs and paying interest too. Put the money into a certificate of deposit and use it as your next down payment if you don't need it for repairs.
Thanks for the help! About the fuel, I think Volvo recommends to use premium. Whether it's 91 or 93, I don't know. I know this is a premium car, just wondering if I could get away with it without hurting the engine.
Here's another question actually, will using premium fuel give a noticeable difference in performance? Like for instance will I accelerate faster using 93 instead of 87? As for the warranty, my parents are paying for the car, I'm paying for my insurance. Going to go with an exclusionary.
In some cases they cover brakes and tires too! Thanks for your help :. Some say that there might be long term engine damage due to knock. If 91 and 93 give you the same miles per gallon, use the The engine isn't using the extra power that 93 has. Thank you for the "helpful" clicks. Never used this site before so I didn't notice that.
