I loved this car, it fitted my family (wife and 2 kids) perfectly, had all we needed incl. CD player, alloys, climate control, electric gizmo's. Nice car to drive, ample power for me, although some say it is somewhat tame, I loved the sound of the engine and the power it gave. On the point of safety, I cannot recommend it enough, I unfortunately drove it down a boulder strewn bank into a loch (lost control on Gravel! No-ones fault, honest!). Hit some BIG rocks on the way down and finished up 4 wheels in the loch! Anyway, I believe the weight of the car and it's strength saved me and my family from ANY harm and injury, we walked away scatch-free. If it had been my old Megane, we would have rolled and that is not worth thinking about. I really miss my volvo and intend on buying another as soon as I can.
