WHAT A GREAT CAR THE TOTAL PACKAGE

THIS IS A GREAT CAR TO DRIVE, FAST, FUN AND COMFORTABLE. SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT YOU WOULD THINK THE CAR WAS DESIGNED JUST FOR YOU. THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANS IS A HUGE A+. THIS CAR IS A REAL HEAD TURNER, MOST PEOPLE CANT BELIEVE ITS A VOLVO. THE CAR COMES WITH SO MANY GREAT FEATURES AND A GREAT FACTORY RADIO. THIS IS TRULY AN AMAZING CAR AND I COULD NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE.

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....

Doesn't make the grade

Although this car still turns heads, it is a disappointment when it comes to reliability. I find myself living at the dealership with them fixing something else that is broken on it. For the past year I've been having problems with the breaking system and suspension.

I purchased this car used for not a lot of money, but I feel that it's worth much more than I paid. This is the car I wanted to own when I was 16 years old, but it didn't exist then and the cost was unthinkable. It's going to be with me for 10 years since I don't drive it that much. Most people don't know what it is or even notice it. When I take friends for a ride in it, they tell me it's the most solid and luxurious car they've ever ridden in. Too bad most of the used ones are badly beaten up, it took me 3 months to find a low-miles garaged one to buy. I'm optimistic the 5 cylinder motor is going to be durable. A lot of the ones out there have 150,000 miles+ and are still running.

Sporty and Safe

This car is sporty and I have the added assurance of safety. Acceleration is excellent; cornering is acceptable (not exceptional). A wind-noise problem was solved with some extra insulation at the mirror. Definitely purchase Michelin when you have to replace the tires because it rides much quieter and handles much better with the Michelin Sports Vs. the Pirelli tires. Interior design could be improved to allow more accessibility. The upgraded stereo features are not necessary, and I actually prefer the ‘normal’ settings. This car is an excellent choice if you prefer sporty styling and appreciate the quality of Volvo.
