Ive had the Volvo for a week, and Ive been very happy so far. Its a torque monster. I went to merge the other day and this jerk in an escape wouldn't let me over, so I nailed it and shot ahead. lots of fun. Only a few minor issues, in Drive (has sport and drive selections) its pretty lethargic shifting from 1-2-3. But in sport its a non issue.
I looked at the price I payed for the warranty, and 6 months out im definitely cancelling it.
Biggest thing, is that the interior materials are nicer than anything else ive owned, I don't have the right stuff to care for it. Meguiars is fine for VW plastic, but not the Volvo.
