    Driving

    A nice drive, with good ride and fair handling. I like it.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    1.6 is a bit gutless, especially going uphill. The only drawback to a nice car.

  • Living with it

    Minor, wear and tear stuff only. Very reliable car otherwise

    OK, it"s not the coolest car in the world, but it is a Volvo!

    Good, comfortable, quiet ride.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Pretty poor - but then nobody wants to steal it!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    OK, but I only used a Volvo dealership under warranty because of high cost. I now use a private garage.
