  pricey but nice - 2009 Volvo V50
  By crs - December 30 - 3:16 pm

  V50 R, is my 4th Volvo (still have XC90 and C30, recently traded xc70) First impression is the V5o isnt up t the high standard of the others. I really got the feeling that I was in a rebadged Focus. Funny thing is though this car can grow you on. The comforts are subtle. Performance is great, handling is top notch( unless you hit bumps then you feel the sport suspension) For city driving with the kids it is perfect, neither too small( C30, nor too big XC90) Volvo has switched to this clunky menu/ enter / select / exit audio and phone control system which stinks. Huge distraction which ought not be tried while driving. Odd development for a car that promotes safety. The previous was better

  I like it - 2009 Volvo V50

  The car drives wonderfully. Its my first new car, and I am quite happy with my decision. So far, no problems; but then again, Ive only got 2000 miles on the car. Back seat is a little tight, if youve got tall folks in the front seat. Having cargo room is great, and the size of the vehicle is perfect for New York City. Sometimes I look out the window at my car parked outside, and watch pedestrians admiring the car as they walk past. The car is definitely a head-turner. The BMWs and Audis are way too common here.
