Great Buy

After months of research, I decided this sports wagon was the best value for me. Though I was originally in the market for an SUV, I concluded I would lose at the pump in the end. The direction of gas prices has only validated my decision. The Volvo is a perfect fit. It's sporty (I love the autostick), very comfortable (leather), sharp interior and exterior, and it has plenty of space for trips to the hardware store. I recommend it.

I love this car. Roomier than you would think. With the Premium Package and Sports Package it is very nicely equipped. You can feel the quality and saftey features of the car. Its crisp handling and european ride were exactly what we were looking for. We replaced an SUV (Land Rover Discovery) and I don't miss it at all, especially the hefty weekly gas bill!

Fun Turbo Wagon

Volvo did a great job of designing this car. The front end gives the V50 an aggressive look and the large rear tail lights set it off from the crowd. Standard features are generous and the list of Options provide the ability to create a dream. I purchased the car using the Overseas Program. I would recommend that anyone opting for that program does not purchase any accessories from Sweden. The prices are twice what they are in the US - even though they tell you it is a "Special Price". Other than that, the trip to London, Sweden and Norway was great fun.

This car is sporty, fun to drive, and holds all your purchases from Home Depot. I made the switch from an SUV to this car and I'm really glad that I did. Also, if you compare this car to the BMW 3-series wagon, a tall person can actually sit in the back seat of the Volvo wagon as opposed to the BMW 3- series wagon where they'll be crammed in with no leg room.

I am enjoying my car. My last car was a new convertable (too small) then before it a SUV. This car gives me lots of room and sporty so it does not feel like a "Mom wagon." I have the upgrade sound system which I love and the sports package! It has a smooth drive and comfortable on long trips.
