Why is this car so uncommon?

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 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.

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 ?

This car drives and feels like a fun little sports car. It has plenty of pep with some room to spare. We have taken it on many road trips loaded down, with a child, dog, and full size stroller. The quality of the workmanship inside and out is spectacular. We have had no mechanical issues whatsoever. A great little family car that gets pretty good gas mileage!
