So have only owned the M35 since last Friday and already had a Volvo comment. Filled up with petrol at the service station and the cashier said to me "Is that a Volvo?"

I replied "No its a Nissan Stagea"

He said "Oh it looks like a Volvo"

I said "Yeah but it defiantly doesn't drive like one"

He replied "Oh is it quicker?"

I said "yes" and left.

Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

I picked my Stag up last saturday, and my girlfriends father, being a Stagea fan that is a little jealous of my purchase likes to throw in the occasional "oh you're going there in the volvo?" line.

:)

otherwise I haven't had that kind of comment yet, just a few "what is that?"

First time volvo comment at the servo down the gold coast, cashier said wow havn't seen one like that with a full body kit, can't be many like that, is that the one they used to race, didn't really think about it, said few around not sure about the racing part, he said "no i remember they where raced and had the kit like that" said okies no problems, anyways driving down the high way back to brisbane and I clicked he was talking about the volvo's the raced in the late 90's lol :)

Robbie Frankovic drove a Volvo for Mark Petch way back. Dick Johnson referred to it as a "Sweedish Block Of Flats" It actually won a few races. LOL.

*Francevic. ;) Yeah he raced a 240T back in the mid-80s, won the first Wellington 500 race in 1985 and even took out the 1986 ATCC in it. Was probably the coolest car ever styled by the Lego company.

Pulled up in my mates driveway to go on an Adelaide hills run. It was the first time I showed him and the first time he had seen one. When I got out to greet him I was asked 'I thought you bought a nissan.. this is a volvo right?' Nice

Having lunch with work mates, talking about the snow. Got onto driving with chains in bad conditions, I proudly announced I don't need no chains... Was asked what kind of car I had.. eventually got to: "Oh yeah, the ones that look like volvos? Seeing a few of those on the road these days". :unsure:

Not really a Volvo reference, but leaving work Thursday night and as I unlock my car to jump in, a Maori co-workers says "That your car bro? Ha! and I thought it was a hearse ay!"

Response was brief. "Yep, it's particularly good at transporting smart mouth Kiwi carcasses.".

He shut up pretty quick and speedily left the carpark in his POS Rav4.

Had the car for three days before I got a Volvo comment! :closedeyes:

Posted a pic on Facebook and got a handful of replies including:

Thats perfect for our camping weekends.

Ewww, kill it!

You bought a Volvo?

Might be ugly, but boy does that car perform!

Anyway, hello all, Atik from Olde England here. Bought a Stagea on the weekend. :action-smiley-069:

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
