Doesn't achieve anything like the claimed MPG. Had some problems with quality of paint on wheels, had to stripped and powder coated under warranty. Also had early problems with minor water leaks round doors and wind noise. Water leaks have slowly improved as car has aged. Wind noise still much the same. Was the first new car I've ever had, wouldn't buy another and would be reluctant to buy Volvo. Is great to drive, has been reliable and the retro styling looks great, £30 per annum road tax is a big plus.

Have owned this car for just over a year; bought second-hand, with just 33,000 miles on the clock and one previous owner. Overall I'm really very pleased with it. Performance is adequate for my needs but fuel economy could be a little better. As you would expect build quality is excellent, being a Volvo. In terms of space, again it is adequate for my needs but I suspect for a family with children it would be rather impractical, being a two door and having little in the way of boot space. Finally, for me, being a pensioner, I need something which is reliable and will give me many miles of service. The Volvo fits the bill and the good performance is a bonus!
