The battery is in the trunk of the car.
This is a well made car very dependable but expensive to work on! The performance is amazing as well as the comfort and ride! Not a big car but plenty of room on the inside and in the trunk! It's a really a good looking luxury style car with a reasonable price!

Drives really smooth making it easy to commute to and from places.
It is a very fast and nice looking car that is very fun to drive. The only problem I have with the car is that it has a terrible turning radius.

High mileage Volvo: best performance I have seen with a higher mileage vehicle.
My Volvo is extremely reliable and comfortable. Even at over 150,000 miles on the vehicle it still rides, steers, and stops smoothly. Because this vehicle is a Volvo it does have a higher cost for gas and oil changes. The garages have to have the correct tools to work on Volvo's.

Incredibly reliable and dependable.
It is incredibly reliable and has not needed much maintenance at all. When it does need maintenance it can be difficult to get parts that are not upwards of $1000.
accountCircle Vincent A
It is not that expensive to maintain. It has always been a pleasure to drive.
Although twelve years old exterior is in very good condition. All power,great stereo. Auto sunroof. Five cylinder motor has very good performance.

It's a beautiful, dependable, comfortable safe car good for any car buyer
Most dependable car I have ever owned. Great interior very comfortable during long drives. Works great in snow and always gets good gas mileage. I bought it used and put around 30000 miles on it. I plan on keeping it till it hits the 250k mile range which I know it will.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Daniel P
Its very fuel efficient and handles well.
It has constant cooling issues. The hood latch gets stuck all of the time. Power seats and windows quit working and work again without notice.
accountCircle Mackenzie T
Not very compact and can be hard to get used to driving but it looks sleek
I enjoy my car but it has also been run down to the core. There at 320 miles on it and the check engine light constantly comes on. The heating and air conditioning work perfect and doesn't take long to kick on. It's very reliable there has only been about 2 times where it had stopped and not started just due to the battery being dead. It's very comfortable and has leather seats and drives smooth. I have no real complaints other than the fact that it is outdated and needs new windshield wipers
accountCircle Chelsea B
The focus is sturdy mechanically and hard to kill.
I like how inexpensive the gas is for it. I also like how nice it is. I just wish it was a little bigger.

Great car very good pick up and performs well
Great performance and reliable, I have only one complaint the plastic housing around the seat is cracking
accountCircle Hannah F on December 28, 2020
Love the leather interior. Comfortable front seats. Wish I had heated seats. Have had an issue with the ignition breaking. Overall a nice car.
The car is small, great for a single person or couple, but not a lot of legroom in the back seat.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Tanya A.

Has power; heated seats and heater work great; when something needs to be fixed or changed like changing a light bulb it lets you know. The car is very quiet when driving; very comfortable seats; the only drawback is the back could use some more leg room.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Tanya A.

It could use more leg room; you have to sometimes take off multiple parts to fix or change light bulbs; if you need to fix or change something the car will keep the note on the dash until you do. Just do it!
