Pah! Rumbled! Yes, I do indeed have the book of 50 crap cars, from which many of my comments re: Maestros were lifted. Mind you, they are funny because they are true. Mine used to say to me "check engine" quite a lot. I would stop if I could be bothered, open the bonnet, and there the engine would be, large as life, so I would drive off...
Unfair comments about Yugos and Ladas apart, it's really quite funny...

Oh, and as to Volvo reliability, there's a trick: get the base spec UK model 740. Its a 4-pot inline 2.0 litre jobby and it frankly doesn't have enough moving parts to go wrong. It doesn't even have an electric fan, for goodness' sake. Oh, and avoid the 760 turbot.
