I recently drove the Volvo FH 500, and here's my take. The design hasn't changed drastically compared to the previous model, but those new V-shaped headlamps do stand out. The driving experience remains solid, especially with a loaded cargo. That said, I found some external features a bit redundant. Overall, it gets the job done.

I’ve driven the Volvo FM 450 for a decent number of trips now. Performance-wise, it's got the juice with the D11K engine. It handles inclines well, and fuel efficiency isn’t bad either. However, the cab can feel a bit cramped, especially if you're used to the FH. But the lower entry step, that's handy during frequent stops. Overall, it’s a solid option, but I wouldn’t pick this for extended trips.

I drove a Volvo FH12 from 1999 just like this one - it really delivers on durability. The 380hp D12C engine? Capable and reliable, especially after a recent rebuild. Manual 12-speed transmission shifts smoothly. The minimal electronics simplifying maintenance is a plus. But the rear tires need replacing, and the frame shows minor rust that’s been treated. Comfortable interior with functional features like a tachograph and cruise control makes long drives manageable. Minimal convenience features, but essentials are covered.

I've driven several models of Volvo buses over the years, and recently had the chance to check out the 2026 Volvo 9700A. The design is modern, and the interior feels crafted with passengers in mind. One aspect I did notice is the individual climate zones in the cabin - definitely a practical addition. The suspension system makes for a smooth ride on highways, but occasionally, I found the noise insulation could have been a bit better on rougher terrains. Overall, this model stands out in terms of comfort and functionality.

So, about the Volvo 8900. It's good but not without its quirks. The climate control zones are nice for comfort, but it takes a while to reach the desired temp on colder mornings. Handling is solid, especially in urban setups, though, on rural roads, I noticed some minor vibrations through the frame; nothing deal-breaking. The available gearbox options really help tailor the bus to specific route needs.

The Volvo FH 13 is very comfortable for me as a driver, after a trip my back doesn't hurt, the seats are comfortable plus two beds, a refrigerator. The 400 hp performs well in different tasks. It accelerates quickly, driving is comfortable, gears shift effortlessly and without vibration. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

I worked on the Volvo FH 460 for a couple of months. Overall, it's a decent machine, but the emergency braking disappointed me - it may not work. I would recommend moving the windshield wipers to the top so they don't smear the glass with sand, otherwise you'll have to replace it soon.

As a driver of the Volvo FH 500, I was impressed by the 500 horsepower engine - it allows you to forget about the lack of power. There are plenty of compartments in the cabin, so there are no problems with storing things. The engine brake holds the truck well, but I only notice some inaccuracies when heavily loaded.

I checked out a similar Volvo FH12, 1999 year. It’s a solid truck for its age. It has a capable engine setup with essential features for day-to-day operations. The front tires were in great shape, the rear needed attention. What stood out was the straightforward mechanics - easy to handle during repairs. Inside, it had a clean and functional cabin, though nothing fancy. A solid choice if you’re after dependable performance.

Had the FH with both D13 and D16 engines. Power is no joke, and it pulls smoothly even when I'm maxed out. Definitely not loving the fuel economy though, especially if you're heavy a lot. The thing's got torque for days, but if you care about mpg it's not at the top. Handling is top drawer for a big truck, and the steering is really light, so I never feel beat up after a long shift. Servicing's pretty standard, Volvo garages everywhere, but the parts cost can sting.
