I loved the looks. The combo of turbo performance & mpg are great. The awd is good for handling & good traction in snow. I like the utility of a wagon. I get up to 31 mpg on the highway & 24 mpg around town. The passing power & smooth torque is what is so fun! My T5 has been very reliable.
The most beautiful SW on the Road

I believe Volvo is the best value car on the market. If you compare features and prices with the other car companies (Like BMW and Mercedes Benz), Volvo V50 has more features, less price. AWD system is much better than BMW's and Mercedes's AWD system. Heldex differential works very well. Interior design is awesome. Sleek center console is one-of-a-kind. Turbo engine runs smooth and you can feel the power any gear ranges.If you are looking for handsome, reliable and fun to drive family wagon, Volvo is gonna be the best choice.
Expensive Repairs

We thought we loved the car but it has been one repair after another. The kicker was that at 2 years old and with 25,000 the clutch burned out. This repair was not covered by Volvo for warrantee. My wife and I have always driven manual cars and this is the first clutch issue ever. It was $2,500 to fix. We will get rid of the car due to the dissatisfaction we have had with this experience. We have owned three other Volvos (V-70R AWD and XC-70 AWD) but this one has soured us. Say good bye to this one.

Have had my V50 for about 8 months now. I still love to drive home from work each day. The engine is responsive, the handling great and feel is solid. Test drove many other makes (Audi, BMW and VW) and with thier lease options couldn't even come close to the value of the Volvo. I have most all the options except for the sport package and navigation. Recommend the upgraded stereo, sounds fantastic. So far, no complaints just that their is not that much room for storing things. Best of all I feel like I am driving a bank vault!!
Mine's Fine!

I've had my car for 60,000 miles now. It has had one or two minor things go wrong with it (needed new brakes and rotors under warranty), but the dealer has taken care of them. It is a _gas_ to drive- lots of power, responds well. It is just so much fun. The wagon lets me take my dogs, go to the hardware store, etc. If you want a car with lots of room, then get a bigger one.. but this is fine for me. I am still in love with this car-- by far the best I've ever owned.
