What a dissapiontment! This car has been in the shop 6 times in the two years I've had it for electrical problems around the SRS airbag system and the DIM. I got it at 46k. It was at the dealers for 5 weeks last month. Dx: "We don't know what's wrong with your car. But, we got the SRS warning light to go out for you!" I have no confidence in the car or the dealer at this point. Plan to trade it in and get another Honda. Also, the dealer cannot seem to decide if synthetic oil is the best choice. They have used both. Do not get your fingertips in the way of the front doors during closure. Amputation risk!

This is my second and last Volvo. My first Volvo (V40) was excellent and when we decided to buy a a new car, we went for another Volvo. Big mistake!! Nothing but problems (two engine breakdowns within 24 hours of each other, carpeting cut wrong - had to be replaced, battery and headlight failure in 1st 6 months of ownership. Cheap interior componments which break - radio knobs, control of electric rearview mirrors. Integrated cell phone suddenly quit working. Stitching coming off seats and shift knobs, etc.

I now have 6000 miles on the car and other than an intial problem with an axle flange I have been one happy camper. I have had an opportunity to drive it a bit in a farmer's field and although it is not my wife's Grand Cherokee, it is more than adequate for minor off road use. The A/C system is one of the best I have ever used. The only short coming that I have had with the car is handling. I traded in a sports sedan and although the cross country is no slouch, it definitely is not a sports sedan!

- a pleasure to drive; easy, silent and smooth. - a comprehensive large family car offering great room and outstanding safety. - remarkable power when pulling a heavy load (boat or trailor). - feels solid but not heavy to drive. - I am committed to car makers who are committed to sustainability in design and demonstrate an awareness of passenger, pedestrian and other road users personal safety and security in their design. - I have confidence in the history of the marque.
Some problems, but overall very nice

We just went in for our 7500 mile check up and are overall very pleased with the car. It is very comfortable to drive and there is excellent front passenger leg room. We had a brake problem early on that was fixed under warranty. The most annoying thing about the car is an ear deafening acoustics problem that occurs with just the sunroof open on the highway or when only one of the side windows is open. Another problem is the glare on the front window from the taupe dashboard which makes it difficult to see without the reflection of the dash in full sun.
