Full car review
I bought this car a couple of months back, because I wanted a "business-like" vehicle that is also luxurious and comfortable. I have to drive a lot for my job and this car is reliable, and really relaxing to drive. As I have two children it was also ideal as they fit in perfectly. Volvo are excellent cars with all safety features you could possibly wish for - honestly, you really fell like nothing could ever happen to you in this car! The dashboard is flash , has a lot of extra features and the stereo is even loud enough for my teenage son. It takes about half a minute to get used to the car and driving it is not a challenge as with many other manufacturers. It feel like the car is on rails and it does c. 200 km/h, which is fair enough.
This car is a good choice, but it obviuosly is for the middle-aged generation, who are looking for safety rather than the flashest new model.
