I sold a car with 165,000 miles on it because I was tired of taking it into the shop each month. Since buying my V50, I have had to take it into the shop almost every month. It has had repeated electrical problems that don't end. The same problems keeps coming back.
Poor quality control Not very relieble

This car is most expensive headache you will buy. It has a lot of electrical issues. I have premium audio which gives me trouble intermittently and no one at Volvo knows how to fix it. Also navigation system is too sophisticated for volvo to trouble shoot. Besides that the customer care people are insensitive even if you make one trip a month to the dealership for fixing something or the other. NOW NO LONGER do volvo cars get top ratings in safety either.

Went to by a "SMART" car. Ended up with my Volvo. For the mileage I put on it was the vehicle for me. Lots of room for my clubs, skis, mountain bike and weimariner.
Fun wagon!

This is am awesome car! It is a great combination of power, fun & economy. Passes even better than my old Olds jetstar with a 425! Cruises at 90 across S. Colorado & N. New Mexico & gets 27.5 mpg while doing it. If I keep it at the speed limit on the highway I get 31 & around town 25. Carries my 2 dogs or lots of gear easily. Perfect size for my wife & I. I love this car!
Great car...Terrible brakes

I don't know if it is just me, but I am dissapointed with Volvo. This is my second wagon in one year, the first was a lemon. The second one has been in the shop three times for new brakes and numerous problems with the air conditioning and electrical system. My suggestion, if you want a wagon with no hassle, don't go with a Volvo.
