Volvo V50 Overview
The versatile V50 was known as the V40 when it first went on sale in the U.S. in 2000. This incarnation had been sold in Europe for five years before that.
The second generation began in 2005, at which time the name was upgraded to V50. This is the smaller alternative in Volvo wagons (versus the very popular V70) and is considered the counterpart to the S40 sedan.
The vehicle combines moderate cargo space and relative efficiency with the legendary Volvo crashworthiness. It is a great choice for families and dog owners who don't wish to own an SUV.

The Volvo V50 has garnered praise for its stylish design, spacious interior, and comfort across various model years. Many drivers appreciate its reliability and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for families and daily commuting. However, some owners have noted a lack of power and excitement in the driving experience, particularly in base models. Overall, the V50 is viewed as a sensible and economical vehicle, though drivers seek better performance in terms of acceleration and handling.

What people say
Performance with 220 horsepower is very adequate. Handling is ok. The car itself has not so much faults but the local service is a real joke. I like the overall appearance and interior decoration. This car is fun to drive!
Good fuel economy, brilliant transmission and good power. 200+ torque, 180bhp, with 6 air-bags. Volvo made, unbelievably tough car. That was a wagon, with big space to carry boxes, etc. Transmission is good, which is an auto-manual thing. Generally speaking, brilliant car for winter here.
Perfect balance between a hatch and a wagon. Sporty, yet sensible. Sleek, clean design inside and out. It is hard to look past the very intentional minimalism, but fortunately that is what makes this car great. It is a "fiddle free" environment which leaves the operator's hands free to do what they should do in the driver's seat... drive. Bluetooth phone, radio and function menus are all conveniently placed on the steering wheel. With the T5, it is probably best to have both hands on the wheel. The turbocharged in-line 5 will push your back into the seat well beyond 60 mph and it is a well balanced joy on the back roads. Plus, the throaty rasp of the exhaust and whir of the turbo are nearly lyrical. Somewhat annoying that the computer only talks to apple products... but nothing is perfect.
My Volvo V50 is a smart sporty wagon with great comfort and nice styling, on the exterior as well as in the interior. It's very nimble on the road and turns into corners with precision and brio. The petrol five-cylinder has a nice character and runs smoothly and sounds great during acceleration. My only dislikes are high fuel consumption and NVH in the rear seat (but the later should have been improved since the update). There's also a great sounding audio system (Volvo's High Performance).
good: - beauty - 220hp - stearing - seats -sound system bad: -expensive to repair -burns gas 9.3l/100km
