I was told by a volvo mechanic friend that the auto boxes on these cars are a lot stronger than the manual boxes and need a lot less maintenance as long as the fluids are changed regularly. Infact he reckoned the manuals are awfull especially if you use the vehicle to tow. Also auto transmissions are a lot gentler on the engine and driveline.
Can anyone else verify if this is not a good buy and to avoid it because it has an automatic gearbox? Also can you change this to geartronic (if it is worth it)? SC |
