Volvo 122 S (Amazon) - hot temperament from the cool north

April 19, 2012 — Günther Gebhardt 27

For the 'hobby' editors, the Volvo 122 S represented a car that, although still relatively unknown, was close to the German driver's dream car for both sports and long-distance driving.

Sporty stability kit - Volvo 122 S in the (historical) test

March 1, 2023 — Clauspeter Becker 44

In the summer of 1964, the Volvo Amazon had already been on the market for almost eight years. Other manufacturers offered five different models in the same period. But instead of always hastily following the latest trends in body fashion, the Swedes preferred to concentrate on slowly but consistently perfecting the technology of their car. The result was a saloon with an old-fashioned look and construction that could compete with any modern car. This historical test report identifies the strengths and the (few) weaknesses of the Volvo 122 S.
