Votvo Canada pholo VOLVO contends the all-new S80 is the safest car they have ever built — a sig- nificant statement for an automaker with such a good reputation for safety. Leather standard on $80 From page 30 (side impact protection sys- tem) which provides strengthened lateral protec- tion in side impacts, five three-point seatbelts with pyrotechnic pretensioners, and headlight washers and wipers. A standard Stability and Traction Control system improves traction and a more sophisticated version called Dynamic Stability Traction Control provides traction and skid control on slick roads. Volvo says the S80 is the safest car they have ever built, which is sig- nificant for a company with such a good reputation for safety. Standard features on all S80s include leather uphol- stery, simulated wood trim on dash, doors, console and shift knob, premium AM/EM /cassette/ cD stereo with four 25-watt amplifiers and cight-speak- ers, audio control on the steering wheel, dual zone climate control, eight-way certified mechanic offering complete cas mechanical service power driver's sear with Memory settings, and cight- way power Passe: nger Seat. 60/40 split folding rear seat power windows with dri- ver/passenger automatic up/down and pinch protec- tion, tlt/telescoping stecr- ing wheel, tilt/slide glass moonroof, pollen filters, and 215/55HR-16 inch tires with alloy wheels. The high-performance $80 T-6 adds the tur- bocharged engine and Geartronic transmission, wider 225/55HR-16 inch radials with different alloy wheels, front fog lamps, real walnut interior trim, premi- um stereo with four 50 watt amplifiers, and a viscous lim- ited slip differential. Before driving the $80, I - was concerned that its for- ward-mounted, transverse engine would place too much weight over the front wheels, affecting handling and braking characteristics. | was also concerned that the powerful rurbocharged engine would produce torque-steer through the front wheels. My test-drive revealed that Volvo's engineers have done a great job of balane- ing the ca: and defying the laws of physics. It handles extremely well right up to the extremes of tiandling on the test track, and for daily driving should prove a comfortable, quiet, easy to drive luxury car. There was virtually no torque-steer, and though it’s not the best steering, avail- able, it is responsive and pre- dictable. Turbo ooost arrives early, and the power progression is smooth and continuous. - In general, the $80 is a delight ro drive. S80s start at $49,995, and S80 T-6 models at $55,995. Ail S80s are manu- factured in a Volvo plant in Torslanda, Sweden. Though it’s a significant a departure from the relatively conservative S90, the $80 retains the traditional Volvo virtues of safety and practi- cality, in a much slecker Coempiote Automotive Repairs, Maintenance & Service $1500 DOWN *186 per mo/48mo. lease 4.8% Financing $2000 DOWN per mo/48mo. lease 4.8% Financing $4000 DOWN *328 per mo/48rno. lease 5.8% Financing $000 down, $240 per month or $0 down $265 per month Vatue Package Includes: AM/FM cass, intermittent wipers, 1.8 fitre dual over- head cam engine, 4 speed automatic transmission $0 down $222 per month Value Package tnciudes: AM/FM cass. dual avertiead cam, 16 valve engine, frll wheel covers, remote mir- rors, split rear seat fi 4999 Toyota Tercel 1999 5 Toyota Corolla B.C.'s #1 Selling Car $2000 down, $375 per month or $1000 down $398 per mont he Value Package Includes: or ANVEM cass/CD, ant age lock brakes, power win- dows/locks/mirrors, air cond, anti-theft system, full time 4-wheel drive ¥ North Shore’ S Best selection /¥ North Shore’s Best Quality / North Shore’s Best Prices a eo 5 4 VW GOLF only 74,000 km, 5 speed, alloys, focal ORE OWMEF ..........0... $14,433 95 NISSAN MAXIMA GLE B Fully toaded, beautiful car. +5 sneed, long box, canopy, looks & runs excellent. 93 PONTIAC SUNBIAD LE Nicely equipped, 2dr coupe, amvim cassette, OW KIM ............... $3,995 HONDA ACCORD COUPE Only 16,000km, 4 cyl, loaded, showroom condition 94 JEEP YJ hard top, 5 speed fooks & runs great.
