wow... i must say i was overly impressed with the volvo...
the positives:
- volvo safety...
- the ride was nice and crispy...
- all around the size was perfect...
- the seats & steering wheel are outstanding...
- all-season 19" tires
- wonderful sound system...
- a throaty engine & exhaust sound...
- no premium fuel required...
- a unique sport package (i won't see myself coming & going)...
- the color look so good in person (pics don't do it justice)...
- insurance rates... same as the crossfire...
- discounted from 54k to 42k...
the negatives: (the little things)
- daytime running lights...
- no tilt down passenger mirror when backing...
- no self dimming side mirrors...
- no front parking sensors...
- no area to house the gas cap when removed...
- the red paint shows finger prints very easily...
- the gas mileage 15/20 (but expected)...
as we all know... no vehicle is perfect... but an extremely strong contender... if not the one. i really liked it and so did my wife...
