Advantages: Luxurious interior, good performance Disadvantages: Pricey, Rattles begin to occur after ~30k miles
I have owned this vehicle for just over a year now and during my time of ownership there have been many ups and downs.
The inside of this car is a lovely place to be, whether in sun or rain. The leather seats are very soft and comfortable and fully heated (both bottom and back) making them especially welcome in winter. The sound system which came with my model included surround sound speakers which were truely excellent for a factory fitted system ... ...by the fact the factory head unit was unable to read mp3 cds however but this is only a minor point. On entering the car, the first thing you notice is how everything has been built to such a high standard and with safety in mind. The doors alone must weigh around 30-40kg each.
The ride quality of the car is good although there are rattles and squeaks from time to time which I was slightly disappointed with. The car feels well planted on the road ...

Advantages: gorgeous, sophisticated, solid, safety features Disadvantages: heavy handling
...cabriolet for a second hand Volvo that I have been lusting after for a while, I have been very satisfied.
I have a silver version with a blue hood that is just gorgeous and is definitely a head turner. It feels very solid and the car doesn't wobble when I shut the door (definite change from the Renault!). Very smooth indeed to drive (have to strain hard to hear your gear changes) although handling not as nifty as I would have expected. Turbo kicks ... ...means that you think you are doing 70 on the motorway and, when you glance at the speedo, you are doing signficantly (and I mean significantly) more.......something to adjust to!
My stereo system comprises radio, tape and CD with 6 CD multichanger in the boot, which is great. Sound is fantastic and you have the option of surround sound which is mind blowing!
Roof action is superb and rather classy - takes about 25 seconds and local pets seem fascinated! ...
