This car has been great! With over 240,000 miles on it, it still is going strong. The size of the vehicle is perfect for my family of 4. The AWD is certainly a must have for our icy winters. I've never had heated seats before this car and I can honestly say that it will absolutely be a requirement on any future vehicles we purchase. They are just so comfortable, great for the winter, and it certainly helps to loosen up my back. Other amazing features that I love about car are things like the climate control and the sun/moon roof. The climate control is amazing for both winter and summer. It doesn't matter the time of year, we're always comfortable. I love the sun roof in the summer and the moon roof in the winter. I know that it's basically another window, but it adds that special something, especially for my children. As for other specs, the car gets over 200 miles to a tank of gas and that's city driving. It gets even more with highway driving. The car hands great and it feels like its cruising along even at high speeds. It has plenty of space to accommodate my family with room to spare. The trunk space is huge and has been beneficial for pets, groceries, luggage, etc. We always have enough room for whatever we're doing.

The car is reliable and safe. Even at 11 years old it shows that it was well-built. It has great cargo space and it is comfortable to drive in it long distances.

This vehicle is reliable and has worked relatively well for me in the time that I had it. Although I bought it used, it maintained its quality performance and function for many years. I love the hatchback, and the room that this car has inside. Whether you're trying to move things, fit people inside, or go exploring the outdoors. The space inside is very nice to have. My biggest frustrations with it were centered around it being a European car, that is both difficult and expensive to repair. Part of the problem is the area where I live. It's fairly rural, and the nearest Volvo dealer is about a 2.5 hour car drive away. Although I think it is a good car, I probably wouldn't buy it again for the place that I live. Were I to move to a more urban place near certified mechanics and dealers, I would consider buying a new version of this car.
