It was very, very slow. The 2.4 felt like a 1.4. But the T-4 version is a lot better apparently. I did like the stylish interior. It looks reasonable too, less Volvoid than before.
Space wise, well it isn't that capacious inside, but it handles fairly well and can be punted along with reasonable confidence, more so than the V70.
Build is solid- it just needs a bigger engine to shine. Nice warble to the engine tho.

Pros — Looks, build, economy, handling
Cons — Lack of speed, tourque

50 mpg, heated seats, mp3, sits on the motorway at 90 all day long,, done 25,000 so far this year, thus a vulva.
Not the biggest boot in the work but more than enough room for all my work gear and my dog!
Dual zone a/c is a nice touch as is the auto dim mirror. Could do with bigger door pockets. Awesome sound system although mine is a factory upgrade.

Pros — comfy, quiet, good mpg, not a huge estate/wagon
Cons — indicators work intermittantly ;-).

Lots of space being an estate
Not shabby performance 0-60 in 9 point something
Smooth acceleration and ride
Computer went wrong on ours, software had to be reloaded, caused
problems with turbo

Pros — Decent fuel economy
Good motorway cruiser
Nice feel to the car
Stylish inside

Personally would prefer saloon car
