Buyer's remorse....
Overall -- I thought I was getting a sporty, luxurious convertible. After 4000 miles, it's just a reliable 4-seater hardtop convertible. Sporty? The car is SO heavy & the suspension is like my old man's `92 Buick Park Avenue. Acceleration? Fairly responsive. Cornering? Not tight at all, especially with the weight you're carrying. Steering? Too loose. Appearance? It looks sporty for a Volvo, but come on, consider your baseline. Luxury? Nice overall amenities, but there?s a lot of room for improvement (see comments below). Overall, I think I should have waited for BMW's version which will debut in the spring. What I like -- Convertible hard top; DYNAUDIO option is just AWESOME, like front row seats at a Van Halen concert; simple, elegant, and navigable mid-console panel; minimal blind spots; responsive acceleration; passenger memory seats and mirrors What I dislike -- Subpar dashboard for the priceband - mint green font?!; too much wind in rear seats with top down (I bought this car to take my family around with the top down - the first ride was a failure due to the excessive wind); seat leather doesn't breathe/ventilate well, leading to discomfort during extended rides; overly sensitive CD player- shuts down speaker system at high frequencies that are manageable for other car CD players; the center arm rest is anemic at best and can't be shared with the front passenger; for the price, this CONVERTIBLE doesn't even have a case for your sunglasses; storage compartments on the doors are awkwardly constructed and difficult to access, especially with the doors closed.

Great Car!
This is the best car i've ever driven. Not only is it safe, but it is good looking. My friends comment by saying, wow, nice BMW. But then I say, no, it is a corvet. Made from Volvo. A corvet? Made from Volvo? No way! I thought they only made cubular shapede cars. NOw they make awsome cars? Where can I get one?!?
