Volvo 240
I never imagined I would have to admit this being a wedge type of guy but I really like my son's 240, The handling is crisp, (it does need a turbo at least for my taste), roomy, realitively cheap to work on, comfy, heated seats, rear wheel drive. The parts are some what interchangable with the other Volvos (the rims are off a 760)
So far we swap out the struts and shocks, put on some viper silver metalic and viper blue metallic, and some small cosmetic issues. I like the fact it has the brake calipers you do not have to remove to change teh brake pads (I thought GM was ingenous when I found this on my 2006 Hummer and Volvo has been doing this since at least 1989).
It is much more bold of a paint job than I expected from him, being as conservative as he is I expected white or silver or gray.
