Good car, too many GPM

This is a great little Volvo, from before the era when Volvos got bigger and became even more gas guzzlers. Even this AWD version only averages 23 MPG. That is probably why. The FWD version probably does a bit better.

Buying a used V50

Didn't know anything about V50 other that it was AWD, 6 spd, clean interior. the previous owner drove it until most of it was worn out. once I get all the worn out bits replaced, it will be a great car. handles fairly well, its as fast as a car needs to be, gets decent hiway mpg/fair around town mpg. Volvo really dropped the ball on the headlight; the standard headlights are AWFUL!!!, while the brights can be seen from the moon, go figure. nice size car, not too big, not too small.

Don't Know What Else to Drive

Love driving this car. I buy Volvo's because i believe that some used models are slightly under priced. I like the 5 cylinder engine but, if you're not able to buy new, you will need a good and inexpensive mechanic and you must change the timing belt +/- 2K miles, it will bite you. It is not a rugged car but it will take what you throw at it as long as you don't abuse it. MPG for the age of my car (2007) is good at 22-25 mpg, body integrity is still excellent as it cleans up nicely, and some suspension sensitivity issues will cost you. Took a long time to find out that the sunroof drains have to be cleaned out periodically, and seat covers are a must, as wear on the seats shows the car's age prematurely. Great in winter with 2wd in the W setting. Every once in a while, fill tank with premium to keep injectors clean but i've been using regular 90% of time. 2nd row seating are not for adults unless driver has short legs. Sound system is good for technology available at the time. Heating dash and feet at the same time is pretty much none existent. It's either one or the other to be effective.
