The Car Lust blog has a post by Chris Hafner showing he’s not a big fan of the Volvo 240, even (or especially) after covering more than 150k miles in one. I love this observation:

The car made up for that lapse of refinement with an almost utter lack of power. Brand-new, the four-cylinder engine pumped out 114 horsepower. After more than 300,000 miles of abuse, I’d be surprised if it generated anything close to that lofty figure. This, when powering a two-ton steel safety cage, resulted in a car able to drive out of a paper bag only if that bag is properly moistened.
