I love using mine! Oregon here and I use it in the fog and snow.
Pros: useful in fog and snow
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
My 2010 C30 has one, on the left. As standard C30 headlights are known to be on the dim side, I generally use the fogs as well when driving at night. More light to see the suicidal deer playing chicken.
Pros: more light at night
Cons: dim standard headlights

The V8s are good. I've had 2 pulleys/bearings go bad. The second failed completely, dropping the aux belt and damaging the timing cover. If you hear any weird noises from the engine bay, check your pulleys.
They're also not as bad on fuel as you'd expect. I've regularly seen 25mpg+ on a good run.
ABS modules and siren modules always fail, but are relatively cheap & easy to replace. Alternators also seem to be a weak point and are _really_ awkward to get to.
Pros: good fuel economy
Cons: alternators awkward to get

I paid similar for a BMW TBF, however, another garage told me that the garage I went to was known for charging high prices. I always shop around when the price is in the hundreds so I'm confident I wasn't ripped off.

I had this issue too with my 87 245.
It simply was moisture inside the distributor cap.
It was a rainy day, I drove in a flooded street, then I stopped to check if everything was ok and I never was able to start the car again until I checked inside the distributor cap m. It was full of condensed water and the copper contacts were oxidated.
Pros: easy to check
Cons: moisture issue

My S60 is literally eating those ball joints. Had the same happening to mine (bit it dented the wheel arch too). Replaced the ball joint. After like a year brought the car to repair shop for a check up before a holiday and the fucker was bad in the right side. Now I hear clunking again (btw it never really went away, despite changing almost everything in the suspension)... Gonna check it tomorrow.
Cons: ball joint bad after year

I live in southern Ontario in Canada and after one winter of driving around mainly in the city I decided that they weren\u2019t enough especially when going up any sort of incline with snow on the ground. I recently got a set of Michelin Ice-X tires and it makes a world of a difference. In the end if there\u2019s anything more than a light dusting on the ground dedicated winters is the way to go. Also for context I drive a FWD Volvo V50. All in all they are great but as someone else said. Jack of all trades, master of none.
Pros: great all around
Cons: not enough grip
Vehicle:
Volvo V50
Stock tires are a sham, super poor quality. My first xc-60’s didn’t last 20k and were awful in wet conditions.
Pros: null
Cons: poor quality, awful in wet

Mileage: 20000 km
the heat hasn't gotten mine yet, but they were never great to begin with...and I've seen others complain the same.
Cons: never great
