not so great car

I have had problems with this car since I got it. The check-engine light has come on at least four times and the car has stalled on me twice( once for a defective computer chip and the other time was because the oxygen hose came off), I took it in to the service center at the dealership and they've fixed it. This car has given more problems than it is worth (I'm trading it in for something better and more reliable), it's basically a defect.

The check engine light comes on several times a month. Front & rear brakes replaced at 16k mis. Three dealers that I have been to do not spend time to diagnose the problems. Service is disappointing, especially for a luxury marque such as Volvo.

A mistake

With no added options, not even a CD player, the car came with nothing. 100 watts of sound is barely enough to drown out the loud engine and the sounds of the road. You can hear everything on the road, and everyone can hear the sound coming from your car. Very thin doors. Poor placement of cup holders, and they are square. Since when are cups square? Many problems: brakes, tires, steering wheel, wipers (headlight and windsheild), and the windshield itself. Weak body is prone to little dings that occur with everyday driving. Gas and brake pedals too close to each other!

I FIND THIS TO BE AN EXCELLENT VEHICLE FOR THE PRICE. DRIVING IS FUN AND VERY QUICK. I AM ALSO PLEASED WITH THE SAFETY FEATURES, IN PARTICULAR, THE WHIPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM AND 6 AIRBAGS.

I really enjoy driving this car - it is just my size, very comfortable, I haven't had any problems since I got it. It is a bit small for my husband though. I really like the features and safety, the car accelerates well, I get a good gas mileage.
