Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 30, 2006 11:59 am) I am considering getting a V50. I've been driving an S60 for the last 3 years and other than a software problem at 7500 miles which was taken care of right away, I have had no problems with the car. In reading through some of the discussion areas I'm a bit concerned about some of the problems that have come up. The closest dealer to me is 1 1/2 hours away so I don't want to spend time driving back and forth to get problems taken care of. So the question is, "Should I or shouldn't I?" Thanks

Bought a used V50 in December of 07 with 25,000 kms on it. So far so good, love the looks of the car inside and out. No mechanical problems to report, I have been running on regular fuel since I bought it. While not overly quick I am satisfied with the performance of the 2.4, very happy with the way the auto trans works. Long term reliability is a concern, Volvo has had it's share of issues in this department. Gas mileage has been a bit better than expected even in some brutally cold weather that we have had the last month or so. I will post again around the sixth month mark.
