palebeachbum watching this yet again a year later. Still blown away how good these 90’s car ads were. Makes you want to go out and test drive this 960 (and buy one).
not a volvo fan, but I was obsessed with the 960 from '95 - '98. had 4 or them: 95 - 98. still have the 98. Still a very handsome and stately car. interestingly enough, my father, whom i met for the first time in 2011, had 3, including a silver one like one i had. cant escape dna
Haha, that is a very good story! I have Volvo dna as well, my father owned a 265, 245, 740 and a 960(v90). And from my mother's side an uncle always drove 240's and a 760 sedan. So naturally I owned a 740, 940, 850 and now an S70:)
My parents got me a 1993 volvo 960 in 2010 when I was in my sophomore year in high school. It broke down after a year but it was an amazing car. I still miss it to this day. :
My granddad still owns a 960 -95 in the golden metallic, it's hideous and beautiful at the same time! He doesn't drive anymore due to old eyes but can't sell it since it's his baby. We usually take it out for a ride when I'm visiting, watching the old mans face light up is priceless. Great Car
What an amazing car. I had a 960 1996 and loved it. It served me well. I really felt like I was driving a tank. I was also a first responder and saw so many deadly accidents. Cars would get destroyed and drivers get extremely injured. The 960 gave me that confidence that it would protect me if ever I would get into an accident with a bigger sized vehicle. I gave the car to my dad and he didn’t take car of it. I got very busy and couldn’t follow up. My dad ended up scrapping the car. Till this day I immensely regret giving him the car…I’m trying to find a clean 960 to buy. I don’t have the time to restore it…
Every now and then I see this video I picked up my first born in this car I picked up my second daughter too from the hospital. Mine is a 1997 960 wagon fully loaded I bought it 10 years ago on an auction for only 1500 bucks with only 90k miles mint came from a rich family in a big estate in Connecticut. The lady past away and the car was put in a garage for 2 years with a cover. Now i have this crazy nice wagon. Someone offered me 7k for it. I will keep driving it until needs a full restoration and either drive it another 10 Years or sell It for a no less than 10k offer restored

I bought a 98' S90 earlier this year (S90 is just a renamed 960), got her originally just because I was looking for a second car and she was in amazing condition, but this car quickly changed my mind about any preconceived notions I had about Volvo. Kudos to the designers and engineers who worked on this car in the 90s, it is a complete and utter masterpiece, a pleasure to drive and be in. And if I do say so myself it is a gorgeous design. 👌 Also, yes this car has an absolutely ridiculously tight turning circle for it's size.
@@benjamindoyle668 Even more ironic that early fwd 850s had quite a good turning circle, 10.2 or 10.5 I think it was. Not sure wtf happened starting with the 98 C70. Ask me how I know.......!
The Swedes have always been amazing at building stuff, fighter jets, Saabs, volvos, koenigsegg. And for such a small country they’re very independent when it comes to to technology
damn this car looks good. really a shame the physics of aerodynamics work as they do, would love to see modern cars with better safety/mileage with this kind of design
I miss my Volvo 960 it was my first car, it was a fun car to drive and it was comfortable. Of course, it was only 800 dollars and 20 years old when I got it back in highschool but it was a good car. It had a good exhaust note too. It had a deep rumble, at least the one I had did.
My Dad got an 850 Turbo in 95. I learned to drive in that car and took my license test in it. It was so fun with good tires. Unfortunately the car was totaled when my dad was rear ended at over 40mph while he was stopped. He was essentially fine with slight whiplash. It was supposed to be my first car. I yearn for one.
Man time is going by so fast. I remember test driving these when they first came out. Very impressive car at the time. I ended up buying an Audi A6 that I kept for about 16 years and put about 560,000 miles on it. Thanks for posting this video. I still see a lot of these Volvo's still running on the Hwy's here in Atlanta.
@@stefhenbryan5074 Same Engine and Transmission. Kept up with Maintenance. It went through 1 A/C compressor. Of course Brakes, tires, etc. My Mechanic (Audi / VW) actually bought it from me for his Daughter!!

Probably dumb question to ask but does anybody know if there's any publication of the soundtrack to This at all? Or was this done in-house? Thanks in advance
+omfgwtfbbq90 stuff like that differs from market to market, and cars for america seem to be equipped the best. so, i suggest, it is either abscent (if it was an optional extra), or is broken (which is no uncommon), you shall check it out. it can usually be repaired, or you can swap in a used working unit.
When I was a young team there was an old lady that had one of these(in 2004), after having a late 80s Camry...I never knew what this Volvo was and I haven't seen one of these cars since... they vanished
Little did buyers realize that fixing anything in this and the S90 were a pain in the ass. unlike the other Volvos of this era, this and the S90 placed things in horrible locations. such as the Neutral Safety (PNP) switch being located literally attached to the transmission on the bottom of the car instead of under the air filter box like all of the other Volvos. shit mine is pissing me off to no end. However it runs AMAZING!!!!!!! no complaints there. smooth as a babies ass LOL.
I have a 1997 called asked 90 if you look on the pig however it’s horse shit I have a 1996 Cadillac with the 300 hp V-8 and it takes way less fuel under Volvo and the Cadillac has gotten about to double the miles of the fall, though as well
It's nice when your car has it's own movie.
The turning radius on this car is crazy. You can pull a u-turn literally anywhere.
O kadar iyimi gerçekten ?
That’s true. It ruined me. I started driving the seven series is my first car
big advantage of rear wheel drive
This is incredible. Car ads today wish they were this awesome.
I agree. Car ads were so much better in the 90s.

Watching this video several times, since October 2023 and conducting research, I own the 1996 VOLVO 960 2.5 manual, since 31st of May 2024.
Back in the good old days of rear wheel drive
Blame this when Ford bought out Volvo in 1999
Last great volvo, volvo only declined after this was discontinued in 98'
I yearn for a 960... I love my 240, but I need a 960 in my life

Great, thanks for posting. I have been looking for this video for a long time! :-)
Damn that 960 only has 54 miles on it. The potential.
Just purchased a one owner, now deceased. 96' 960 2.5 CD on 57k miles. Full Volvo service history with 25 stamps! 😁
My daughter had a '97 Volvo 960, great car & loved driving it. Road like it was on rails, and fast, too.
Can't beat the exhaust note of the 5 cylinder engine in the 850/S70 volvo no other sound like it. My uncle had a 850 GLE miss being in it
"it's like having a conversation wit the road..." Hilarious!!
“A thrilling conversation.”
the Volvo 960 is my first car!
Same here. It is a good car. Makes a good drift wagon too,
Same for me. It is so fun to drive and drifting simple and easy.
Mine will be my last 🙏😊
I've had my one-previous-owner V90 for ten years now. It normally stays in the garage as my 'collectors car of the future'.
I think you'll be waiting a long time for it just to break five figures, though it will certainly be desired by enthusiasts.
@@reallyhappenings5597 Ha.. In fact it has now done just over 100,000. In my ownership it only does about 2000 a year.

This thing was a tank and it drove like a dream.
I have my Dads 95 , 960, I still drive it, has 18500 miles on it now .
New 960, lol. It's a modified 760. I did love the steering circle though. The s80 that followed had the turning circle of a bus.
Benjamin Smith I can attest to the s80 turning circle. It’s a complete joke hahaha.
They mean 960 II 1995-1998 instead of 1991-1994 gen.
960 and 760 very different cars

I should have never sold mine - great car!!!
Me too Best car ever . Nobody made better car
After 15 years it was costing me a fortunate to maintain
