excellent wagon

Wonderful wagon, very fast and comfortable. Experience has been mostly positive but car is not without shortcomings. Stiff suspension makes around town driving an exercise in patience. Numerous rattles throughout the interior make it necessary to crank the stereo. Once on the highway however, the car is very quiet. Dealer feels the nature of being a wagon, coupled with the amount of aluminum used in the build results in chassis flex which causes all the rattling. Another disappointment is the fuel economy. A combination of city/highway miles with a conservative driving style nets about 19 mpg.

I bought this car based on safety and, what i thought, was reliability. It had 63,000 miles on it, one owner. Pretty car, nice to drive, when it ran. The car was in the shop every month. Nothing was less than 1,000 to fix. The ETS was recalled, car completely lost power on the highway. ABS module went, power windows, wiper motors broke, suspension/shocks needed replacement, 2 starters, brakes, had hatch fixed, gas mileage poor. Overall, I owned it for 3 years and it cost me over $4,000 in repairs. Very disappointed.
transmission klunks

the automatic shift in my car performs poorly. shifting between 2 and 3 cause a klunking sound and creates a kick as the transmission engages into next gear. Volvo has said they don't see any problem, and are unable to re-create it.
Great Wagon

The sport wagon title has certainly lived up to its name. Very solid feel and the 5 cylinder motor sings like a sewing machine with plenty of power.
Agree with "volvodriver"

Same problem as "volvodriver" The clunking is REAL. Dealer can't duplicate it either. Headrest is too forward especially when my hear is tied back. Engine noise loud, especially when AC's on. Bought car for safety/reliablity, so far has lived up to expectations. Saved my life and two girls when I couldn't avoid running over tire tread at 80mph. With an 18 wheeler on my side I had no where to go but over it. Great breaking slowed us down quickly and car handled perfect leaving tire in the dust. Very scary! Won't drive anything else. But I have been eyeballing the XC90.
