50 Best 2006 Volvo V50 for Sale, Savings from $2,669

2006 Volvo V50 - An upscale barely reliable compact sport wagon

Volvo's Scandinavian roots are elegantly reflected in the V50's cabin. The feel is open and clean, highlighted by an unusually thin center stack. In true Scandinavian fashion, function goes hand in hand with form -- for the most part. Materials quality is also quite good. The one negative here is that the wagon's minimalist aesthetic also results in a minimal number of storage areas within its cabin.

Story

This is a car built for having fun. I had an awesome experience accelerating on an uphill highway at 80 mph to pass 18 wheelers and remember having complete confidence in the vehicle.

Pros

The Volvo V50 feels nimble and brisk and it lives up to the sport part through its sharp handling and sprightly acceleration.

Cons

At 10 years of age, this Volvo's sensors are starting to light up with errors.
