"I love the styling, but that's subjective. Handling is superb, mostly due to 51/49 weight balance. Engine has adequate power for daily commuting duties - it will get you out of the way of speeding tractor-trailers, but don't count on it in a stoplight race. Interior design is good, but cupholders are asininely placed and made of Chevy-level plastic. Otherwise comfortable with all the usual Swedish amenities (seat heaters, front and rear foglights, defrosters everywhere, airbags everywhere, etc). Outstanding gas mileage for a big car - 30mpg highway, usually around 26 mixed. $30 gets me 300 miles on $3/gallon gas. I had some electrical problems and had electronic throttle housing (recalled by Volvo) and ABS sensor replaced. A/C is starting to go @ 86,000 miles. I value my cars based on their driveability and whether or not they start when I turn the key, and this one ranks very highly in that regard. More picky consumers will probably be frustrated."
