Living with it
Reliability
Its a Volvo. Not as bullet proof as bigger models but still well proven
Image
You could arrive anywhere in a Volvo.
Comfort
Not as limo-like as V70 but best in class. I personally think leather interiors are over-rated. Even light coloured ones are hot in summer and cold in winter. Mind you heated seats make this no issue in winter.
