As an owner of a 3.2 a5 and a 2.5 volvo i got to say that when i step in the volvo i dont have that anxiety feeling that i do with my A5 hoping nothing breaks down lol. I just feel comfortable and feels really reliable. My a5 is a head turner because its modified and the volvo is just under the radar which i like. Althought the AWD would have been better i dont worry much because of the complexity of the awd. Only dowmside of my volvo is that i cant see a temp gauge which can be a problem if the tech on car is bad ir faulty. Overall i love this car for longevity and used my Audi as a weekend car.
Great small sedan!

It doesn't get any safer than a Volvo! Additionally, the turn radius is excellent, the city braking is a very useful back-up, and the interior is very comfortable. The dual climate zone works well, as do the auto climate and heated seats. The only downsides to the car in my experience have been the fuel economy (not great, but the price you pay for driving a small tank, safety-wise) and the Navigation system. Whatever software the navigation uses is terrible and frequently takes completely illogical routes. I just end up using my phone's navigation. Overall, I love the car.

Great handling with a turbo engine for zip.

I love this car. It's comfortable like a sedan but has the turbo power of a sports car. Easy handling, great on curves and it has the power to merge into traffic. I bought this car in 2014 and have not had any problems with it.

My previous car was a top of the line 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. With the kids finally grown, I wanted a nice sedan to replace it after my son wrecked it. Of course, after a wreck, you want something safe. This car was the perfect balance of luxury, ride, performance, and gas mileage, all on REGULAR gas! Other luxury performance cars are strictly Premium grade gas. And this car passed the newest type of crash test at the IIHS which Mercedes, Audi, BMW didn't pass at all. Acura barely passed. Do other cars get better performance specs? Sure, but they cost noticably more. BMW gets better mileage, but again at higher purchase price and premium gas. 2/25/17-Now the 2nd best car I have ever owned. My new best car is my 2016 Volvo XC90. That is a whole another review! 2/27/18-Only breakdown was a battery went dead, which apparently then damaged the alternator. Alternators are hard to find for this car, new or used!

Excellent Car Poor gas Mileage initially in T5 AWD

My original review was more negative, but the more I drive it, the better I like it. I wish I had the voice activated phone and built in garage door opener, but that's only on the top of the line. Overall, it's the best car I've ever owned. I have owned a T5 AWD automatic premier for 2 years now. While I initially got poor gas mileage, it has improved to almost 22 over all, and I got 32 MPG highway on my last road trip. I get about 21.5 in typical suburban driving and commuting. (FYI: In 2015, the new 4 cyl engine is faster and gets 25 city, 37 highway.) Other than that the car handles great, is very smooth and comfortable and has very good acceleration. I have had no problems so far. Another negative is that the controls, radio, seat heater etc. are a bit difficult to operate, but eventually I got used to it. This car is smoother, more comfortable, quieter, and handles better than my wife's 2012 Acura TL. I got a great deal on a demo. Free scheduled maintenance is a bonus and cost saver.

The worst thing on 4 wheels

We've owned 8 Volvo cars with this BY FAR being the worse we have ever experienced. At 122k I need a replacement engine on my T5 out of nowhere. Still no warning lights. This is our newest Volvo and will definitely be our last.

Shop around before you pay. Best value compare with the same "level" of european car. Compare to this price. You can get a BMW or MB but in term of safety to price and maintenance, this is my first choice. Very easy to replace air filter.

Not Really a Sedan

You may call this vehicle a sedan but after 2+ years with this vehicle it is better classified as a coupe. Sure it has 4 doors but the back seat is useless. The trunk isn't much better. At 12cu. ft. even a simple weekly trip to the grocery store requires items to be put in the back seat for the trip home. As for a road trip with more than 2 people just forget it. There is no way to put enough luggage in the trunk for anything more than a weekend and anything bigger than an infant in the back seat is a joke. Ironically, the only people that would fit in the back seat only make the lack of trunk space worse because they require even more stuff. Fuel economy on a vehicle of this size is awful. I owned a Accord before this vehicle and the mileage was on average 35% better for a vehicle that was bigger and older. The audio controls are confusing and lack simple functions. The Volvo system stores information some logical and some not so logical places. The resale value of this car has plummeted and I am not in a market where there are a number of these vehicles available so oversupply is not driving down the price. If we had not traded a paid in full vehicle against the purchase I would be upside down on the loan. We looked at other Volvo's to replace this one but found most suffer from the same lack of seating in the rear seats. If your going into this purchase thinking you are buying a sedan look elsewhere, if you wwant to pretend your buying a family car and really buying a sport coupe then this is a good vehicle for you.

Pros: Drives well, comfortable front seats. Cons: Tech features far behind competitors. Even in newer models the tech you get for the money is well behind other manufacturers. Small backseat. Ridiculously expensive maintenance. I should have bought a Honda Accord. Update: I traded in my S60 on an Accord. Much better tech. Much bigger backseat for the kids.
