Volvo cars used to be 1 of the mostly used vehicles plying the Nigerian road. Alas! That has totally changed now. What you see on our roads are mostly Toyota, Honda and Mercedez car products. Nigerians don't really use them anylonger except for few who mostly use the old models. To be fair n honest, apart from the fact that this car product is quite expensive, it is also very costly to maintain but quite durable and has a lifespan that lasts for up to 50yrs (depending on how well you maintain it). Volvo cars are built very strong and viable, and it accommodates our bad road network; no wonder why it used to be at par with Benz products in the past in terms of frequency of this product on the road. I don't really know what has gone wrong, that is if any, but I really wanna know why Nigerians don't really use Volvo any more. It used to be a 'RichMan's Car' back then. I personally used to love the sound whenever a volvo car passes by me. Is it that it is too costly to maintain? Or that Volvo products aint that strong anymore? Or that Volvo products are out of Taste n Fashion for Nigerians? Or they aren't just durable enough for Nigerian roads anylonger? Atleast there must be a reason. |

There is nothing wrong with the car. it just fell victim to Nigerian mechanics not being able to diagnose its fault, parts are expensive and the wheel system are not so adaptable to Nigerian bad roads. |
