On the road
Driving
Handling is ok but can get twitchy when hard accelerating.
Performance
Surprises many with 200BHP. Could cruise comfortably all day at speed well over 100mph and you need to keep an eye on the speedo as the torque means low revs for high speed.

Living with it
Reliability
I bought the car at 45K miles and am now coming up to 140K miles. It uses no oil and has been very reliable. The only problems I have had have been electrical. I have always used volvo service.
Image
The T4 being lowered and with larger wheels looks a lot better than the base model and the image I guess is pretty neutral.
Comfort
Very comfortable. The seats and driving position are superb.
