It was love at first sight, but I had to wait until I could afford this car by buying a used one. I thought I had done a good job of checking out the condition before buying, but every time I turn around I encounter some major repair expense and I feel that the car is not reliable enough to take on any trip outside a reasonable towing distance from home. I take very good care of my cars and I don't consider tires, brakes, usual or recommended service requirements to be something that I would complain about. Within a month of owning the car, the problems began. Expensive problems due to poor quality parts, a schizophrenic electronic throttle system, and now a cannibalistic canvas top system
Don't waste your money!

I married into this car. Wife explained she liked the style, the seats are very comfortable, and she got a good deal on it. I agree with her, however, this car has been to the shop way too much. Things like, light switch, power seats, strut mounts, sunvisors, abs system, oil leak. I can't even list them all. Allow me to sum it up: I think Volvo engineered a good car but assembled it with lousy parts.

Cons: Needed Warranty replacements for: Top, Driver Seat cover, center radio speaker, engine computer, 3 tires: All done no charge. Drive window rattles and after many adjustments I give up. Air shocks squeak annoyingly when you're driving in a parking garage with the top down. Front wheels stay breakdust dirty ALL THE TIME. Didn't hold value very well.
Lots of Problems

Only buy if your brother sells Volvo's because you will be in the shop all the time. Check engine light comes on all the time. Bad radio, top motor cover, electrical problems, tires wear out too fast. Flimsy cup holders break. Steering wheel impossible to keep clean.
Comfortable Style

One of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven (if only others could make seats as well as the Swedes... even if Ford owns them now). Not a great car on the backroads, but not much better for highway mile eating or long sweeping bends... Lots of power, although too heavy to be fun in the twisties, and too front wheel drive to always get it all down. A limited-slip-would go a long way to improving the fun to drive factor. All in all, a beautiful, comfortable, and relatively quick car.
