CONS: The dealership...if you use them that is!!

REVIEW: I live in Romania & bought my mint-condition '02 D5, in early 2006 from a local car dealer. I haven't had a single problem as yet, apart from the very minor issue of a niggly rear-light connection. I get it serviced about every 10k KM, and the big 2.4L HDi engine certainly ' ...

CONS: just to many repairs. poor electrical.

REVIEW: Very nice on long trips. Best seats of any car. Very poor electrical and brakes. My wife loves the car but she never brings it in for the constant repairs. Would never buy another Volvo. Owned a 240 a 740 and one lemon S80. Volvo lost me. My other car is a Acura no problems. ...

CONS: Maintenance/Repairs are unacceptable in frequency and cost

REVIEW: I traded in a 1999 Acura TL for a 2004 Volvo S80. Originally, I was looking at the S60, but when I saw this one advertised at $12,000 off the window sticker price, I just on board with 3.9% financing, also positive. Routine service is included (oil changes, tire rotation etc.), but the dealer ...

CONS: THE SERVICE OVERALL

REVIEW: Before you buy your volvo, please make sure that you have a respectful service in your area that values customers. Very difficult to find ...

CONS: Not as sporty as a 5 series; no 2.9 liter or T6. Waiting for the 2007 S80.

REVIEW: I read that someone commented about the headrests; she mentioned that they do not move forward. It is because of safety reasons; the car is built to reduce head injuries or should I say help with whiplash. The seats are actually well built. The car overall is powerful enough; it is not as sporty ...

CONS: silly enough but not enough cup holders for family driving

REVIEW: Am very happy with the performance and handling of this car. We purchased the volvo xc90 last year and were so happy with it we went back to Volvo for our next car. The safety and performance for the price gives us comfort when the kids are in the car. You get a lot of value/safety features from ...

CONS: engine is not as refined as in its competition.

REVIEW: The 60/40 back set folds down, a nice touch that the Japanese cars down offer. Impressive build quality. cost to insure is reasonable. Quiet at freeway speeds, road and wind noise is muted. ...

CONS: turbo takes a long time to activate

CONS: Gas milage is not nearly as good as dealer (+Volvo) promised

REVIEW: I love everything about this car (2006 2.5 AWD) except the gas mileage. Dealer told me that this car should get around 22-23 MPG around town using 87 octane. My actual mileage is closer to a combined 17-18 MPG (city and highway), and I don't gun the car from light to light. I suspect that ...

CONS: alot of road noise, no auto lumbar support in seat??

REVIEW: The head rests do not move backwards so your head is always forward,hard on the neck. I hate the black stuff all over the rims and the car from the brakes, hard to keep clean..real hard to see the curb to park because of the hood shape.Parts are very spendy. My headlight(drivers side) has ...
