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 ?

I've never thought Volvo was this good. I just bought it for safety reason for kid but it exceeds my every expectation. In short, perfectly quality built for saftety without sacrificing performance and fun of driving. I got it on 15km. Overall it has been giving me satisfaction out of expectation. Very responsive, Powerful enough of its class, running stable like a rock, outstanding sound system - feel indulged driving as listening; strong sense of safety sitting in the car. Wonderful small family car, beautifully designed for storage and family traveling; every function works perfectly.

Just bought our V50 yesterday and had an above average experience at the local dealer. Not pushy at all. Gave us a fair value on our trade in ('93 Mazda 626). Car cost $30,000 + tax/tags. We also got 2.9% financing for 4 years. Car was loaded with following packages; Black Paint, Black Leather, Climate, Select, Trim Package, Body Styling package, Sirius Sat Radio. Very good looking wagon. I believe this was a fair price considering the added packages it came with and financing package (in lieu of incentives). Still need to drive it more for a review on handling but for a small family it appears to be a great alternative to a gas guzzling SUV.

This car, so far, has impressed us with the acceleration, comfort and overall good looks. We got rid of a SUV, and this is a great alternative. In Southern Italy where we live, it isn't uncommon for people to drive quite fast(80-100 MPH/130-160 KPH) yet this car keeps up with them all. The styling is top notch and is the best in it's class. We bought the V50 2.4, Grey metallic with dark beige interior premium sound with 12 speakers. Wow!!. Awesome! We have 3 daughters ages 13, 6 and 1 year and they all fit well even with a car seat.We looked at several other Euro wagons and this Volvo tops them all.

Had the car for almost a year now and I love it more now than when I bought it. It has the ride of a Town Car and the fuel mileage is great (26-31). I bought the premium sound system and several upgrades and haven't been disapointed one bit. It's a solid car and gives a lot of bang for the buck!
