Shake, Rattle... No Roll
This car does not compare favorably with my last Volvo in: turn radius, ride quality or fit & finish. Wonder what a Camaro or Mustang built in Sweden would be like? It would have front wheel drive, lots of air bags, power steering that binds during U-Turns, bake transmission fluid in 10k miles, a sunroof outsourced to Hyundai (make the noise go away), comparable build quality, plenty of rattles & squeaks. The side windows make an alarming "thud" at bottom, a real passenger pleaser. Does the spring rate really need to be this high? Two alignments have failure to prevent this thing from hunting the road like a hound after prey.
My First Volvo
As my username appears, this is my first Volvo, and I am nothing short of impressed. I have never had a problem with merging or passing other vehicles, as I ride in extreme comfort with the exceptional sound sytem turned way up. Usually the sunroof is open because it rattles too much when closed. Closing the sunshade helps a little, however. There is a bit of road noise with Toyo Proxies tires, so I would consider changing them. All-in-all, however, this car is an exceptional product by Volvo. Power, performance, styling, and the stereo...what else do you need in a driving experience?
I love this car
This car is so much fun to drive! OK, so I had to repair the power steering at 54,000. But, it's wonderful to drive and the sound system is great. Did I say that I love this car? Friends tell me that the back seat is every bit as comfortable as the front. The cruise control effortlessly kept the car at 75 mph for 65 miles up the 5 Grapevine and into the Valley, smooth as can be.
Fun car to drive
Excellent car to drive soft or hard. I have had this car way past 150 mph, and it felt as if I was going 60 mph. I love everything about this car....
Built to last
This is my second Volvo and they only seem to get better. This body style is so rare that people still are taking 2nd looks. The quality, style, comfort and incredible sound system keeps me satisfied. Although front wheel drive isn't as fun as rear wheel, it does relatively well in snow.
