Having brought this car end 2006 from new for £35K fairly fully loaded, it has been fraught with ongoing problems. Leaking windows, faulty air conditioning compressor (neede replacing just outside of warranty at £700 fitted) creaking windows and roof, loose wiring loom in roof, faulty electric front windows (sticks half way down when raising or lowering roof), recall for oil pressure problems - now keep getting engine service warning light every 6 months due to oil pressure problem. To make matters worse, the resale values have dropped through the floor.

Piece of crap!!!! Everything that can goes wrong, went wrong and dealer can't find anything!!!! Never Volvo again!

Complete nightmare car and all i get from Volvo is a part exchange on which, i lose 50% of the value of the car in 18 months. The car has only 11.000 miles. Office of Fair trading is urging me to go to court.

Probably the best all round 2 seater sports convertible available,very good value,fast,economical,4 wheel drive,excellent boot size for a sports…
If you wish to drive reasonably quickly along country roads with the hood down and just enjoy, then this is for you. If you wish to have fun away from…
