It drives really nice and my first Volvo saved my life!
I love my Volvo. It has definitely had its problems, usually due to an accident and expensive to fix, but they are super safe and I would never own anything else!

That it is a safe vehicle.
I love that my car is safe, and handles well, especially in the snow. It also has a lot of trunk space.. I sometimes wish it was roomier for long drives.

The Volvo is very reliable.
The Volvo is a nice station wagon with leather seats. It gets decent mileage and has a lot of cargo space in the back to transport large items. Sometimes it has some electrical issues, but they are minor. We plan to keep this car for a very long time.

It is a hardtop convertible, luxury car.
It is a hard top convertible, that is technically a luxury car. It unfortunately costs a lot for upkeep and repairs because most parts have to be purchased or fixed solely at Volvo. If you find someone else that can work on Volvo than it is not so bad. For a luxury car, it is woefully outdated as far as bells and whistles and other options that are available and standard in economy cars now. It is very good on gas for the engine size and overall weight.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Laura M.

Fast and easy to maneuver. Hardtop convertible but not visible. It gets good gas mileage. Unique because you cannot tell it is a convertible. The color combination of red with black interior makes car look sporty yet classic.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Laura M.

They do not make it anymore so finding parts has become a challenge. There is something special about the type of oil it uses so not every place can change the oil. It is usually very expensive to have it serviced.
