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 has been fantastic! Its a lease and I'm seriously considering keeping it. Have had NO problems with this car. Its been great in snow (AWD T5 Automatic is the version I have). It is sturdy, solid, and still has decent pick-up considering. The MPG is as stated. I drive in a lot of bumper to bumper / slow highway commuting traffic and get about 20 MPG.

V50 R, is my 4th Volvo (still have XC90 and C30, recently traded xc70) First impression is the V5o isn't up t the high standard of the others. I really got the feeling that I was in a rebadged Focus. Funny thing is though this car can grow you on. The comforts are subtle. Performance is great, handling is top notch( unless you hit bumps then you feel the sport suspension) For city driving with the kids it is perfect, neither too small( C30, nor too big XC90) Volvo has switched to this clunky menu/ enter / select / exit audio and phone control system which stinks. Huge distraction which ought not be tried while driving. Odd development for a car that promotes safety. The previous was better
I like it

The car drives wonderfully. It's my first new car, and I am quite happy with my decision. So far, no problems; but then again, I've only got 2000 miles on the car. Back seat is a little tight, if you've got tall folks in the front seat. Having cargo room is great, and the size of the vehicle is perfect for New York City. Sometimes I look out the window at my car parked outside, and watch pedestrians admiring the car as they walk past. The car is definitely a head-turner. The BMWs and Audis are way too common here.

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.
