Volvo V50 DS 2007

1 star review

I bought this tin of rubbish and I am now totally regretting it. It has done 80K and has had: a new starter motor, new manual transmission assembly, crankshaft oil seals, new turbo and intercooler, new DMF, clutch and slave cylinder at 75K and now needs another new one. I had an old 340, which went on for 17 years and was always reliable, but this V50 is a total load of rubbish and a disgrace to what was a good marque. It has to be the noisiest car I have ever driven, which can be very annoying on long runs; anything over 30mph and it drowns out the sound system.

Is a nice car to drive, but its not put together very well, ours had to have a new starter immediately (was 2 years old) then the aircon never worked and it had a new condenser (£550 fitted at an indy, but went DIY on it and was £200), it has a very noisey turbo which is going to need replacing soon, if you turn on the rear heated screen the radio reception fails. Had to have a new clutch and DMF £1100 and now something feels a little odd when driving in a straight line on changing camber roads. That’s the first year of ownership! oh and it averages 41MPG driven by my wife who is not the most aggresive driver in the world. All that said it’s nice to drive and my wife for some reason loves it, so it could be the car for you!

Volvo V50 Diesel Sport 2007

Very disappointed with the quality of this car. Bought a Volvo because of their reputation for solid and reliable build. Six months out of warranty the air conditioning system started condensing into the rear passenger footwell which filled up with water. Dealer could not find a fault and wanted the car for two days whilst they stripped the inside out to find the fault at my expense and Vovlo UK were not interested. Now I’ve had to have the dual mass fly wheel and clutch changed because the flywheel has failed. Flywheel has potential to seriously damage the engine if it fails whilst being driven, it can snap the driveshaft. Am writing to Volvo to complain but on previous experience, they are not too concerned about their reputation. This is not a quality car and I will not buy another Volvo.

Great car no faults. Love the modern interior centre console and the styling on the outside lights. Would reccomend to anybody if they want a practical, safe estate car.

5 star review

The very best car I’ve owned. Very good looking, comfortable for the whole family, including two teenage boys and the dog. No problems at all. Bought for the safety features and reliability; has not let us down. A very solid car, we live in the country and it has been a positive boon, through the snow and ice, mud, and fallen trees, this car is fantastic.
