General comments?
We bought this car on Volvo's reputation of safety and quality. We are disappointed in the quality of the vehicle.
The electrical system is a nightmare. The service manager even commented that the car is a lemon.
We have owned the car for one year, and have spent $2500 on repairs. Please reconsider purchasing this vehicle!
