    New vehicle?

    Well since were havin another baby time to get the wife something. We have looked around and shes kinda on the short side like 5'3' and she worried about being able to lift the kids into a newer truck. so were trying to decide between a volvo s60r, or a 3series bmw that awd. Both are awd the volvo is turbo awd the bmw is just awd. both 4 door and around the 13-15 range. SO any help would be appreciated.

    of those two options I would do the volvo, they are mini tanks when it comes to crash tests. they will both be about the same quality otherwise.

    or else you could do an awd tb something like it.

    I am skeptical of volvo, they are owned by ford. My wife uses a Saturn Vue to pull our kid around. It is sweet. 2008 3.6L V6 AWD and we got it for an amazing deal. It was used though. 17995 was the sticker price.

    of the two choices the volvo because all of them i have ever picked up the passenger compartment was still in perfect shape except for the ones hit the doors but other than the doors the rest of the compartment was fine. i have who destroyed an m3 on the george bush turnpike and it didn't take the crash very well at all. just my .02

    My brother has a 325xi great car and my mom has s60 awd great car also. And the fact that ford own volvo has nothing to with it, they play no part in any design or production. I also believe that bmw was looking into buying volvo don't know if they still are. You cant go wrong with either i would say get which ever one you can find a better deal on.

    My most recent ex-G/f has a 328 xi. It was aight. If I had choose between an S60R AWD or a 3 series AWD, I would by no doubt go with the Volvo.
