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.

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.

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.
I just can't believe it...

Well, this is my first car and I love it. I've had it about a week and the only thing I can say is wow! I was looking at SUVs at first: the escape, the vue, etc; but then I saw this and I just thought that is the one. It handles like a dream. Gas mileage is pretty good. I love the pick-up and the interior. I get looks everywhere I go, my friends were like, "That's a VOLVO?!?" But overall a great car, well designed, I would really recommend the HT coupe over the LT conv. b/c you get a better look and more power! 263 hp!
Love this car!

I love this car. From the surround sound to the exterior styling. From the powerhouse turbo engine to the tight steering. If you are looking for a soft steer or a luxury coupe look elsewhere, but if you fancy a REAL sport coupe this is your baby. A little noise from the sunroof but not enough to detract from the overall fun of this fantastic ride.
