This car handles unbelievably well. The 0 to go pick up is unmatched. We have two children and it is the perfect family car. On the highway, for long family trips, it gets very good gas mileage for as much power as it has. Overall, I am very pleased and definitly satisfied ith this car.

I bought this car in '02 as an off lease 'certified pre owned'. So far in the year in a half that we have owned (regular maintenance performed)it, we have had the turn signals fail (hazard button module replaced), thermostat failure(replaced part and radiator flushed and filled), power window module in the driver side door failure ($125 to replace the entire module), dripping oil periodically from the turbo area (dealer says they can't do anything about it-weep hole for the unit?), motor failure for the climate control system($300 repair and no hvac usage until it's fixed.), hard starting (leaking fuel injector $142ea. and must replace all 5 says the dealer).

Overall I really like it especially as a highway cruiser. On smooth pavement it rides firm and comfortable and has a huge amount of power w/ good gas mileage. I would have been disapointed if I paid big bucks as a new car. I paid 14k w/ 75,000 miles.

My parents actually own this car. After owning 4 acuras, went to the volvo wagon because acura/honda didn't make a wagon. Big mistake -so many problems passin TN emissions (multiple times) mechanic said the best fix for this car was to find someone to drive it off a cliff. Car is in the shop about once every 1-2 months, this should not happen on a car that costs 33K new. We have even talked to Volvo rep for our area, they were unsympathetic. On the plus side, car is great on the highway and very safe, decent gas mileage, but on the whole we will never buy a volvo again.
