I absolutely love everything about it!

Everything is wonderful.... The look, style, comfort, gas mileage, everything! I feel fancy and even bought a new pair of high end sunglasses to cruise with 💗💋. My six year old loves to cruise as well! But the beat thing about the vehicle is where we bought it from. Lewisville Autoplex is literally the best business we have ever dealt with, not just car dealerships. We have absolutely never had more "above and beyond" dealings with any other business. Basaam especially is an asset. What a hard working gentleman! In the future, we will go nowhere else but here for a car.

Beautiful car

This is my dream car. I have wanted to purchase a Volvo for a long time, I will be trading this one in n purchasing a brand new one a 2020. This is a 2016 n there is no back up camera nor lane assistance. But it is a very reliable n beautiful car. It holds its value.
