I've got a 2012 D5 with 215 BHP, fantastic car. Practical, safe, and a pleasure to drive, especially on long journeys. I am surprised that Volvo didn't fit rear cameras as standard though.
I have a D5 and auto 2012 model year. Great car but with 112000 miles a major fault occurred. Total brake failure as a result of failed deals in the master cylinder split the servo to invest all the brake fluid. Luckily the car was parked and the brake warning lights illuminated when I started it. Strangely it had a fluid renewal only.2000 miles earlier.
It is definitely worth mentioning that Volvo cars have safe, durable, long-lasting engines and gearboxes. These elements are not known to have any known problems in history. And of course the paint - its thickness and wear resistance, the galvanized body will last for years. Maintenance costs will be lower than Mercedes, Audi or BMW.
Have a 2013 D4 over 8 months now. The best car I've ever had. No issues over 15.000 KM. I drove longest in one direction over 1250 KM. Powerful, comfortable, spacious. Simply lovely.
I bought mine new in 2014 brand new, it broke down on way home with a fuel pump problem, it’s only done 45,000 now, last year I had too have both front abs sensors changed coz abs light came on, also both rear brake discs and pads , it’s got full Volvo service history, had too have software updates coz warning lights were come on when they liked, buy a Honda or Toyota guys I don’t trust mine on long journeys
i just bought a used one for 1k. yes, it needs brakes and possibly coil pack replacement, and a battery. its either this, my clapped out 2011 f150 eco boost, or paying just under 1k a month for a new vehicle. personally, i think at 1k dollars, its worth it.
I got a Q5 and yes just like the guy here said sportiness looks both in and out is Audi but if you want less fuel consumption higher safety and more practical car all around Volvo is the one to go hell I'm even considering of getting one too ofc while keeping the Q5
I owned xc60 strait 6 cylinder twin turbo now.SUV is great,but to replace blower fan motor on xc60 t6, it is virtually impossible.Volvo failed,it is horrible designed. It takes 10 hours to replace instead one hour

Your ready for maintenance of water pump replacement kit and belt. About $1100.00.

Theres a well known oil burning problem in gen1 xc60 due to faulty pistons volvo had a class lawsuit over it
The flap that folds out of the boot floor is to secure bags of shopping near to the tailgate so you can reach them easily and they don't roll around.

Volvo starts to cost after four years. That’s when all the maintenance needs changing.
Jonathan always on spot! Thanks again
Thanks!
Seriously considering this

Get rid of it get a Toyota. Volvo isn’t even in the top ten.
I was looking at Toyota Avalon but a 2011 still goes for $8k+😢
Correction: Flagship is closer to 325HP, not just 285 on a T6 R Design Polestar.
I like the stepson camera PoV on the drive.

Picking my d5 r design in a few days i cannot wait!

Hello, do anyone know is this car better than Audi Q5 ? Thanks
depends on your priorities. if it's sportiness and good looks you're looking for go for audi. safety and comfort is more on the volvo side i'd say
I got a Q5 and yes just like the guy here said sportiness looks both in and out is Audi but if you want less fuel consumption higher safety and more practical car all around Volvo is the one to go hell I'm even considering of getting one too ofc while keeping the Q5
The Q5 allegedly has a very poor reliability record. I would go for the Volvo
Volvo is not even in top twenty vehicles
Must be a very old review, like at least 10 years.

Good details review

Great motor ! 👌
That’s about all that’s great. Volvo isn’t even in the top ten

Why is he wearing Captain Kirk's clothes?
