I love my car. One complaint doesn't do well with water pockets. The vehicle seems to light to drive in the rain

Well, where do I start. Let's do the good stuff: I love the interior, it is comfortable. The freeway ride quality is great. It is fairly quiet on good road surfaces. Now the bad stuff: Had an a/c problem with a pressure relief valve. Took 4 visits to resolve even though it is a known issue. Had a bad fuel pump, causing hard starting from cold. Took 4 visits to resolve even though it is a known issue. Have a steering wobble at speeds around 40mph. This is "normal" according to Volvo. Engine surges and is jerky in any gear and at any speed. This is "normal" according to Volvo. Transmission experiences a delay engaging first gear when pulling away from a stop. This results in a jerk.

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.

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.
