If the only thing that makes the accord ‘shitty’ is the ball joints then it’s a compromise anyone can decide to live with so far as you check it once a year.

Make person no lie, e be like den use ugly designs swear for that automaker. The recent models(XC90) may look better as you said but when you compare to that from other automakers(Acura MDX, Audi Q7, e.t.c) Volvo still looks very trashy. I may never understand why anyone will buy a Volvo. No matter how good they are when it comes to functionality and reliability, there are other brands that are as functional and as reliable with better looks.

The first and most important thing in car sales is quantity, forget all that quality crap luxury cars preach. if you are not able to meet up with certain tresh-holds in car sales you are gone.

Honda is not crap and as a company they have stood the test of time, Honda engineering is not mate of Volvo, when it was swedish, when it was under Ford and finally when it was under Chinese. your Honda is crap statement is blasphemy.

Your Volvo doesn't have more luxury than honda, S60 has cloth option, navigation is optional, no massage seat nor fridge, I don't know what luxury the S60 carry from heaven to earth that the Accord EX-L isn't fitted with, you can enlighten me I wish to learn.

In the first place you aren't supposed to abuse a vehicle. Anyway your S60 won't take Abuse more than an Accord. The accord has a bullet proof engine, the leg works are solid shocks, spring, bushings etc and the shaft gives signs before it gives way. the only negative thing about accords is just the shaft and you should be only worried if you buy Chinese knockoffs.

The first ever accord was made in 1976 while Volvo S60 started in 1999 that's 23years difference. Respect your elder as a Volvo user, the Accord is not mate of Very Odd Looking Unidentifiable Vehicular Object (VOLUVO)

i thought you know a thing or two about automobiles. I was wrong.

Every vehicle looks good in a 3d design. This is what I see when I look at an XC90. Imagine this rubbish in 2019 like a 2003 Honda CRV

if you want to counter my claim please do so without fear, we are all here to learn, give data and analysis to backup your claim. It's simple as ABC

fear of what? Volvo cars may not be in the best taste for africans or nigerians at this moment doesnt mean theu are not doing big things. infact the company is far way ahead in r and d than their counterparts in europe. I am not sure what agreement they have with their chinese owners but in design starting from 2013 has been top notch and that not withstanding their build quality has been great from time on. That alone (build) is what attract their customers to them. Do you know that the xc90 was rated the safest SUV in 2017? what this means is that there is a high chance you would not die if you have an accident in that car. you are comparing the first accord to the s60? thats a no go area as at the time they "volvo" were inventing the seat belt where was honda and its likes?

I am sure you should have also heard about their technological breakthrough in their trucking systems? a rat would turn a volvo truck steering, that is how heavyweight that tech is. I understand sometimes geography determine our taste. You need to be in an xc90 from 2015 above to understand what build quality and tech is. I would not say any of these about a honda and i have nothing against them per se. i have been in both and i am a car enthusiast and i know good from perfect. Nothing fascinates about a honda/toyota car as its all cheap plastic inside. after a few years of use, the interior begins to disintegrate and look very worn out.

honda may be doing well in America,Asia and Africa but doesnt mean that Volvo does not have their base amd its not small in the least. the whole of western and parts of eastern europe have their fair share of volvo users and recently from 2015, they have been breaking american grounds also.

in the end its a matter of choice but it would be dishonest of you to make comparisons based on just one sided sense of judgement of whatever you think you know about the two brands.

Thank you for the lecture sir, every car maker has its own breakthrough. I am not comparing Volvo to Honda, I am merely comparing a 2003 Accord to 2003 S60.

If we start with Honda achievement in the Aircraft industry, outboard engines, powerbikes don't you think NL would crash.

And yes Volvo has been a pioneer in car safety and other tech aspects nobody can refute that.

Make i fix am again?

Okuda:
well, to be honest both of them had nothing that interests in terms of features. but if you talk of build then il say the volvo beats it to it. In design, I would give it to the eod. I remember when that car came out, it was like nothing else could beat it.

diportivo:
I still do not get

how a point in this argument will be that the s60 started in 1999 and the accord started in 1976

I stopped reading after that

as if it wasnt something that evolved into the s60,and then the s40 before it and so on and so forth

in size,the 03 accord and the 03 s60 are not in the same category....


where exactly is the fair comparison

ANSWER: If you were in the market for a TV and you saw Sony WEGA Triton and a QASA TV both of same specifications and same price which would you choose?

I stopped reading after that

as if it wasnt something that evolved into the s60,and then the s40 before it and so on and so forth

ANSWER: The S60 was built on the P2 platform and least car year of manufacture is 1999 and no predecessor only related to other vehicles of that era/platform.

in size,the 03 accord and the 03 s60 are not in the same category....

ANSWER: The Volvo and other Volvo related vehicles are Executive cars. Please look at Volvo in the 1980s to mid 90s and see what their executive vehicles look like.
The S60 been an Executive vehicle should have more luxury than the Accord presumably.

where exactly is the fair comparison

ANSWER: You can always share your unbiased comparison, you and others alike have a right to their own opinion and like I always say I am always willing to learn new things

Thank you
