Perfect car for my son!

30mpg, well made, well designed, comfortable, safe, nicest looking wagon on the planet, great value, Sven did a great job engineering this car, the 2.4L 5cyl has guts, the Swedes have out Germaned the Germans... This car is great on all roads, and is not just another Asian econobox wagon/SUV, Volvo has replaced Audi as my favorite marque
