"Comfortable, handles well, flys under the radar since it is kind of 'bland' looking"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet. So far, so good.

General comments?

Very comfortable seats. Have owned BMW's, Audi's and Volvo's. Always found Volvo's the most comfortable.

Reasonably fast, the AWD helps hold the torque steer to a minimum.

Premium sound is very good.

Bought the Barents Blue colour (dark grey/blue). Does not seem to get noticed by police or others.

Congratulations with your new car! The T5 AWD is a fabulous car, considered buying one, but thought they are to pricey. It's got to be the AWD other vise the nose will be all over the road, simply too much power for a FWD. Had the old S40, and the new one is light-years ahead. The low-end S40's were not an option since they are basically a dressed up and totally overpriced Ford Focus II sedan. Meaning all 4-cyl S40 models, but don't think any of these are sold in the US. It is only the 5-cyl models that continues the true Volvo heritage.
