My third Volvo and safety my main issue. Styling is nice, but driver's leather seat is cracking. I am the third owner. Wish I'd read all the reviews as I likely would have passed this up. Apparently all the issues everyone mentions has happened. Bought it to replace a car that encountered a deer last weekend, but with all the unseen repairs the Volvo needs, I will be paying as much for repairs as I did to buy it. Tires had dry rot; needs front tie rods, rear solenoid, windshield washer pump replaced; a new regulator--which kept it from passing inspection; rear brake pads/rotors, etc. Mostly it will be labor but I wanted it to be good to go as I do a lot of long distance weekend trips. Center console came loose/glued into place!!! Haven't tried the sound system, but not much of an issue for me. Getting used to the controls, Rides smooth, looks nice, handles somewhat differently than other cars. Named it after my brother who had Down Syndrome. Hope that is not going to be the case here: "down" syndrome. I'll put some money into it, but hope it will give at least 150K + miles. It's at 128979 now. All the issues others mention seem to be true. Should have done my homework better. But it's a Volvo, and if I can get it up and going, it will definitely meet my needs. My $5300 investment will be an $11K car when I'm done.

I love the Volvo, its very spacious with the extra third row seating. It would be good for a family, or even travelers. I just figured out that the seats lie down which is pretty cool.

The car is great and reliable in very satisfied. Very spacious love every bit of the car. Test drive it and drive like a champ
