Consumer Opinions from Around the Web

We have scoured the web for consumer reviews of this car and found the best ones for you to read. Found 39 reviews. This list is displayed in ranked order based the reviews we think are the best.

Ranking	Details
#1	The perfect car Source: MSN Autos ...Overall: For its price it's the best car you can get...
#2	Correction of husband's review Source: Edmunds ...I have just become aware that on 4-14-10, "Tom" offered a review of our 2009 Volvo V50 T5 Awd R design 4dr wagon. We have previously owned 5 Volvo wagons since l971, each of which was "my" car,and our adult children have had six Volvos. Tom's criticism of my V50 was a little harsh, and unfair to compare it to our larger, more substantial wagons, the last of which was traded in on the V50 simply to reduce the turning circle from 43'+ to 35'+. The keyless entry has caused hassle and extra expense. Volvo recently changed the cap for driver's door..... let's hope it works!!...
#3	Excellent Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Well built Cons: Central window control awkwardly placed Overall: Excellent car...
#4	family car Source: MSN Autos ...Overall: It's a family car, which offers smooth and safe driving...
#5	This Volvo does not stand for quality Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: I like the Volvo name and thought that meant quality. I was wrong. Cons: I have had this car in the shop on an average of once a month since buying it in January. I have had to replace the brake pads - twice. The headlights had to be replaced. The windows on the passenger side (both front and rear) needed the motor replaced. And I've had countless electrical problems! I wish I had never purchased this car! Overall: Don't buy this car. This "entry level" Volvo will wind up costing you time and money...
#6	Volvo V50 Source: Cars.com ..."I am an owner of a V50 in the Southeast. I drive approximately 20,000 miles a year delivering medical supplies to facilities throughout the area. I bought a V50 in 2006 and love it. It is fun to drive and economical to own. Basic maintenance is all it needs. I would recommend this car to anyone I know."...
#7	Volvo's Little Wagon Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: Everything Cons: I want more power. I want more space inside. Overall: I like it despite the "cons" mentioned previously!!!...
#8	Good family wagon Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: safe and performance Cons: Sound system Overall: Great car...
#9	great comfort and speed Source: MSN Autos ...Overall: Nice car which I like to drive. And I drive it a lot due to profession. Has nice handling, love the look and great comfort indoors. Too bad it has a rather small trunck. But hey, you buy this car for the looks and the driving, not to use it as a truck...
#10	quality safe wagon with plenty of power Source: MSN Autos ...Overall: Great for young couple without children. Excellent look and handling. Reasonable gas milage. With just the right level of features I need. Zero problems after 2 months...
