My car says, "I like nice things, but I'm not trying to impress anyone."
I love my car. There aren't an overwhelming number on the road, it's a smooth ride, it's got a little bit of power and speed, and it looks classy.

Volvo’s are extremely safe cars. The physical appearance also holds up.
I love the reliability and the safety of Volvo's. I have owned two and will never drive anything else. What I do not like is the cost of repairs sometimes.

It is reliable and maintenance costs are low.
Ride is smooth and mileage is also good. Being turbocharged makes it respond quickly. The interior is very comfortable.

It is a volvo. It is silver. It is a sedan. It can fit 4 people comfortably.
I like that it is silver. I like that it is comfortable. I dislike how much gas it takes. I dislike how d***y the silver tends to look.

Feels like driving a bigger version of a go-kart
My Volvo S80 T6 is the first foreign car I have ever owned, and I love it! I feel very safe in my Volvo. My favorite feature the car has to offer are the heat/cool seats in the front seat and the back seat. The Volvo S80 T6 rides smooth and is pretty quiet. It is such a reliable vehicle!

Volvo is rated five stars for performance.
My Volvo is a reliable. It looks like a luxury car. It performs so well. The only thing I don't like is that fixing it is so expensive.

It's very safe and it is well engineered.
It's sporty and comfortable. It has quick acceleration. It has some luxury features, like air conditioned and heated seats, which are nice. It has a high safety rating, which is important to me. The function and feel of the car is indicative of really good engineering. Only negatives are the tires tend to puncture easily if you hit lot holes, and some of the sensors are starting to go. Trunk space is more than enough. It's reliable. I really like the car.
