This car manages to be quick when you want it to be, cruise when you want it to, seems to work well in the snow, and holds more than enough stuff to fit our needs. Fuel mileage so far of around 25 mpg overall. Comfortable seats, great for long trips. Very progressive throttle tip in helps to drive smoothly. Engine can be a little buzzy at times, but packs plenty of punch when you want it to. Steering effort is way too light, but turn in is crisp, and it's great for long highway trips, maybe not so much for back roads. Well-designed, intuitive interior with fantastic sound system. Only problem so far is a rattle in the dash, fixed under warranty.
Nothing but problems

It had 5k miles when purchased from the dealership — it was the loaner vehicle. For a small car it got terrible gas mileage. I’ve never spent more on repairs. It was one thing after another. So many electrical issues. The steering wheel would lock, apparently an anti-theft feature that would prevent me from being able to drive it. After the 4th time I had to have it towed I was done with it. The tire sensor malfunctioned which was an expensive repair and the indicator would stay on. Maybe I had a lemon, but owning this car turned me off to Volvo’s forever. I spent a ton on repairs.

sad, headgasket blew, sold it for scrap $500, do not buy any used VOLVO, parts all super costly, the car will fall apart on you after 5 years.

I wanted a hatchback with AWD but the choices were limited. This was a good alternative and I am not disappointed. This car is well built, fun to drive, and not an SUV. The handling is better than expected. The only thing lacking is better MPG.
