This is the finest automobile I have ever owned. It has all the amenities, style, performance, and safety features that one can buy at an affordable price to own. I would recommend this fine engineered vehicle to anyone who desires the best in quality and safety that will last.

Volvo = Tank

I have owned this car for five years and have been very happy with it. The car is heavy but the handling is excellent. The torque is somewhat under powered without the turbo. Super car built like a tank.

Don't Buy a Volvo

The car looks great and runs great, when it runs. In the four months I've owned it it has been back to the dealership 5 times. Everything that need to be fixed was minor but the fact that it needed to be fixed at all was incredibly unacceptable. When they say Volvo certified, DON'T BELIEVE THEM!

Last Good Year

All and all I love my Volvo. I would not buy a newer one as Ford has ruined Volvo. My only complaint is the rattles. The vibration of the engine when the brake is on makes the whole car rattle and buzz. Also, over nearly any bump the suspension jars you, not rides like a tank (as old volvos do).

Volvo: solid with exceptions

Adequate power. Pleasing engine sound. 30 mpg highway, 24 city. Very comfortable. Chintzy cupholders. Bottom of dash beginning to tear off; did a DIY with some tape and glue. Otherwise fairly solid interior. Leather seats remain in beautiful shape. Good storage space with seats forward. Beautiful styling, reminds me of the better VWs. Outstanding handling, good in emergencies. Multiple sensor malfunctions - ABS, TRACs, BRAKE light, Check Engine, Transmission, ETS (accompanied with revving engine @ idle). Have learned to ignore the less dangerous (e.g. the amber ones), as it is an older car. Very happy if you're willing to see past some of the quirks.
