I am assuming you refer to Generation 3 with 185bhp........

Lovely cars. A move forward from 2002-2007 cars in terms of modernity.
Depending on specification - lovely toys eg 4C, keyless go, electric tailgate, etc.
Handle okay but then they are a big old barge.
Lots of room for people but tailgate aperture is not "square".

Some of the ???s

They certainly like a drink (like most EuIV/DPF Volvos)
Firm ride on 18" rims
A few seem to exhibit rising oil levels
Some have had electronic handbrake niggles

OVERALL - would buy another.
