Gotta love a sport wagon with all its style. We got ourselves a Volvo V50; the family needed a new car and if you know me, I love a used car with all its savings, but you also gotta have some style. So take a look at our new to us used sport wagon with all its style; one fantastic Volvo V50!

6:00 ohhh I can see your perspective on that as a family car but for a car person, the C1 chassis (Ford Focus and Mazda 3 chassis) is one that some people would argue is the greatest handling of all time

The longer we’ve owned it; I’ve just grown more and more fond of the handling and sporty feel.

@@FashionableFather its a small car in europe too lol, the v70 is more a bigger car obv ( ithink he means larger as in what the kids usually buy as a first car over here being small city cars) , i have a 2007 v50 with a little 1.6 diesel engine, 172K on the clock and still feels tight and fresh as ever and as for the focus underpinnings its a real positive as the mk2 focus which its based on ( incidentally the US never got the MK2 focus, what is a focus mk2 in america is the mk3 everywhere else) is a fantastic handing car. :)

Nice V50👌 The Bluetooth connecting mobile with car but its only for calls. If you have USB-input, you can play mp3 and wma from usb memory device. The CD player also reads CDs with mp3 and wma files. There is posibility to streaming music by aux-input, by 3mm jack Bluetooth radio. Cheers🍻

Volvo are also great for safety and built like tanks. (I don't if the American ones are just as safe as the European ones.) If you want to add bluetooth you can add Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC head unit/ stereo system. Volvo are generally great cars however I saw you as more of a Saab man.

I love that damn car, but ours was run HAAARD. It was dealership car through and through. It had electrical issues. The front is knocking now. The sunroof leaked, but that was an easy fix actually. The headliner on the sunroof just recently came off. It is a used car so I don't feel these are big issues. No transmission issues or engine. The brakes are a lil soft too. If you're looking at clean one I think it will be a great car. My issues I feel are just a well worn car.

@FashionableFather 11 ай бұрын

It had around 80,000 miles on it and my wife put 10,000 on it in LA traffic. The car wasn't in the greatest condition to be honest; minor stuff. So I'd say its a great car for how hard its been run. The ac seems to have a slow leak which I haven't figured out yet. A front strut seems need replacing. I love the car; wish I hadn't bought from a dealership.

W Father for not getting an SUV

@chrisburn7178 7 ай бұрын

Perhaps not as reliable as Volvos of old, basically being a Ford Focus with Peugeot/Mazda engines, but there are very few small wagons (or estates as we call them in the UK) that are as comfortable and stylish, especially that are now at least 11 years old. I've had two now. It sucks that everyone buys SUVs now which are just less practical and worse in every way than a decent sedan or wagon. My latest DRIVe D2 does 70mpg on the highway and 56 average and pays zero duty in the UK, and it does have Bluetooth. I think it was an option only though.

@FashionableFather 7 ай бұрын

You and! Same page! Love the style of these lil wagons. SUVs are so damn boring.

@ronniejonsson Жыл бұрын

The V50 shared platforms with the "European" Focus, not the same vehicle as the Focus models sold in USA. In fact, the Euro Focus used the Volvo engine/drivetrain. Ford benefited immensely from their marketing agreement with Volvo, adopting the much-needed safety features Volvo is known for. Since that "partnership", to this day, Ford's many products are full of Volvo DNA (as opposed to the other way round). Contrary to most belief, Ford did not "own" Volvo. Volvo AB, the builder of heavy equipment, trucks and marine equipment, was not any part of Ford.

@FashionableFather Жыл бұрын

This is awesome to know. I was always annoyed that volvo partnered with ford, this sheds a much more positive light.
