Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it useful & enjoyable.

Yes a Volvo would be the right choice for those who're starting to learn to drive, as well as those of us who love driving & tinkering with cars.

For info related to 960, be sure to visit the 960 forum. If you do not receive replies often or receive negative replies, try General Volvo Chat, as moderators & some members often visit there as well.

Good luck!

Welcome. Bought a 96 850 for my son who turns 16 in April. Normally I would say look at the front wheel drive Volvo's (850 or 70 series) but as you are in TX there will seldom be snow/ice to drive on, so the RWD should be fine. Either way you are making a wise decision in putting her in one of the safest cars on the road.

 

yes saftey is a big concern.
