Faults:

Well everything is wrong or is breaking down.

Heat in the driver's seat doesn't work.

Automatic thermostat for the climate control broke.

Gears are hard to change, due a worn seal in the gearbox (common issue).

Rear brake caliper rusted/stuck.

Rear windshield wiper fell off from the "arm" holding it.

Water/condensation in the left front light (common issue).

Cracks in brake hose front (common issue).

Brake oil lamp lit up because of sensor failure?

One broken rear suspension.

General Comments:

It's a good looking car and handles well. Interior looks modern too.

Fuel efficient and perfect for city driving. On the highway it's noisy though.

Bought this used, but I do regret it, since it ain't a real Volvo. My Volvo 740GL 1987 had passed 540000km when sold, my Volvo 850SE 1995 had 360000km when sold, and my S70 1999 had 240000km before being hit by another car.

So what happened? This won't last forever, for sure, with all its weaknesses.

Faults:

Catalyst - 2008.

Brake lines - 2009.

General Comments:

Overall I like the Volvo.

Very good handling, and like a dream to drive. I've driven several, but nothing is close to the Volvo.

Comfortable seats, everything works.

Downside:

BAD winter car, horrible if it's snow, the weight is not at the front tires, so it will spin easy.

Expensive to repair, moderate fuel consumption.

The engine runs very smooth, no problems whatsoever.

Little rust.
