My first Volvo - bought it new in December 2004
I bought this car in December 2004 as a 5-speed manual, naturally aspirated model. My experience is that between its compactness, ride comfort (go with Michelins! it makes a huge difference), and overall handling and engine performance all recommend this vehicle as a semi-sport sedan. The vehicle has been reliable with no more service occasions than I would expect, the sound system is wonderful, and the fuel consumption reasonable for this era.
