At 105,000 expect to spend $2,000 for a timing belt change - too damn much when compared to other brands, and that's not the dealership. Also, little things are costly.

Simply put, I love this car. I live in the mountains of colorado, and this car is tons of fun to drive on twisty mountain roads. I am of the belief that you do not need a SUV just to live in the mountains (unlike everyone that lives around me). The AWD is all you need to survive up here. The interior design is simple and intuitive, the performance is great, the mileage is decent (considering the way I like to zoom around), the cargo space is great, and it looks awesome. I seriously don't understand why this car isn't more popular, but then again, I don't understand why everyone around me drives these monstrous SUVs. Aren't they driving on the same roads I am?

I've driven for over 2 years, lease is up in a few months. The negatives are always easier so... Visibility: Ironically, the safety features detract from visibility. I removed the huge rear seat head supports in order to see the small rear window. The front columns are so thick they create a blind spot. Eats up power steering fluid (typical European?)- Have to replenish in less than 1 year. Wind Noise as stated elsewhere. I avoid bumps. It DOES NOT ride like a Town Car. Maybe it's the stock Contis? They're terrible in the snow. Pros: Adequate acceleration, I don't need 0- 60 in 5 secs. Very responsive handling, just don't run out of the expensive PS fluid. Great Looks.
So far..so great!

Have had this car a month & have been able to do commuting and a 1500 mi road trip with it. Great car that isn't more than what you need (SUV) or too little (5-dr hatch). The p/t is fantastic: smooth, powerful & quick and the 6-spd manual makes the car all that much more fun to drive. The seats & options (ours is loaded) make the car a dream to drive. I highly recommend the NAV system as it performed flawlessly on our trip. The gas milage is coming in a bit lower (~24.3 combo according to computer) that I had hoped for in a 5cyl+manual but it's better than an SUV considering the V50 has AWD+ 218 hp/236 ft-lbs & all functionality w/ lots of cargo space. Best car I've owned thus far.
Finally got one!

I drove a number of Ford Focus, my wife had a v50.....every time I drove her car I was jealous. I finally found an 07 for myself. The car has changed my life. It had 119k on it ,so I knew I would have to do some work on it. ..but I didn't care, for what I paid for it I was well ahead of the game and I like working on cars...it was so worth it ...They talk about the simple Sweed design....well it's pretty easy to work on too. What you typically don't hear about is how well this car is insulated....it's amazingly quiet and warm. All cars have their problems, and this one is worth them. I have a number of nice cars/trucks......I am The Mustang Chef Volvos are cool. still have it and love it , pull my rowing shell with it [html removed] Update Nov..2018...paid 3500 with 119000 Miles on it. It just turned over 216000 Miles. Looking for another one just like it! 2007 silver......so I can replace it without my boss knowing I bought another one!hahaha Would love a 2015v60...hope the Chinese aren’t fffing them up. Going into winter of 2019/20....still pulling my rowing shell( cost more than the car) with it and still getting compliments on it. Put it away for the winter now...saving it for lake trips and regattas only . A few months ago I put it up for sale on CraigsList , I don’t know what I was thinking.... the huge amount of interest woke me back up and i took it off the listing. So happy i still have it. PS.... My daily driver now is a Focus ST...what a blast! Nov. 26 2020 ..my 2007 Volvo v 50 still tows my rowing shell. It won’t quit, its almost embarrassing.At 232k i just put new shocks and struts on ...i would never dream of doing that to another vehicle with that many miles. It doesn’t burn oil!! Next spring I’ll replace the timing belt for the second time!! it refuses to rust . How did they make this car so quiet ?
