Here's a shocker for you, Ed: Not everthing made in Japan is perfect and not everything bought from Europe is for "status".
Yeah I don't get that bad Volvo idea... Most of even the old ones are rolling big mileage.

I would personally put any Volvo up against any Mazda. I was just talking about this debate today with a buddy who works at a Ford / Volvo dealer. He agrees, said Mazda's rattle more than a texas rattler once they pass 15k on the clock.

Which ever... I do understand trying to keep the price point down. Heck maybe even that means you will get some extra rattles and such.

Oh and thanks for not buying a soulless sedan like corolla or civic.
