Volvo V50 2.0 SE D 2005

1 star review

Disaster area; this car has done 90K miles, nearly all on motorway so it hasn’t had a hard life, and has been properly serviced. A never-ending series of expensive failures: three wheel bearings; nearside electrics wiring loom; dashboard out for three days to replace faulty air-con component; blocked sunroof drains which trashed the carpets; faulty DPF sensors causing random power loss; cd autochanger packed up; driver’s seat that rocks from side to side. This is what happens when you buy cars built by people who don’t care, using cra**y components from Ford’s spares bins. Wish I’d bought the Mazda 6.

5 star review

Love the car definitely a serious contender for the BMW 3 series or the Audi A4. The interior is great with stylish features and the outside of the car looks sporty. Well done Volvo. Have had no problems with it and am very happy.

Nice looking car but too small. Handbrake gets in the way when changing gear and head rests impair view from rear window. Elec mirrors and windows sometimes fail to work but biggest problem is the fuel consumption. I’ve had the car for two months and am getting no more than 240miles form a full tank.
