Irecently picked up my car at the factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, and cannot say enough for the quality of that experience alone. Volvo goes all out to take care of every detail. This is my second time signing for the car in Sweden. My 2nd experience was as flawless as the 1st. Now to the car..WOW! A beautifully built car, wonderful to drive even on the snowy streets and freeways of Europe in a major snowstorm. I kept up with the best of the experienced drivers on the "fast" Autobahn in Hamburg, Germany. I bought the R design and it is stunning, inside and out. Try the overseas program Volvo offers, it truly is the best in the world. Now, about the local dealership in Monterey, CA.. The best!
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.

Greatly enjoy the car. Feels safe and is quick and fun to drive. Not quite as quick as my wifes' BMW and has slight turbo lag but much less than previous turbos I have owned. Used to go skiing many times this winter without any problems. Very practical and reasonable mileage. The car is attractive and distinct. Interior is very comfortable but back seat is cramped for adults.
