The AWD 3 liter straight 6 Turbo model (T6) has handled ice and snow without effort. Being a Scandinavian car (mine was manufactured in Belgium), it has no issues warming up in the winter. The 6 cylinder turbo has no lag and easily accelerates on to highways. Comfort is fantastic for both short and tall drivers. The roominess in the back is as much as a small flatbed pickup when the seats are down.

Pros

Ride and Handling: Responsive throttle, excellent braking. Comfortable in the city when fighting traffic and a monster when you have open highway and a turbo under the hood.
Power: 6 Cylinder. Turbo. Highway on ramps or passing is a breeze. Not painful on the fuel or RPMs.
Cargo Space: I had moved recently prior to this purchase. With the seats down i was able to move wardrobe boxes with no issues due to the high cabin ceiling (great for tall people!)

Cons

Cabin Noise: There is some unexplained rattling sounds from the back seat i can't seem to mitigate. But for a 2016 with reasonable wear - Its not too bad.
Technology and Entertainment: Its a 2016. Ignore the satnav all-together. Just use your phone.
Cost to Maintain: The windshield is OEM. It has a defroster grid in it comparable to the back window of modern cars. If one of those goes out, you'll have to go to Volvo for a replacement. The drainage channels that relieve moisture from the sunroof run down the A pillar on the drivers side. They are prone to cracking and could leak all over the electrical system down by the floor where your fuses are. I haven't had this problem but it's something to consider. Keeping the gaskets of the sunroof supple is on you and a cheap self- preventive maintenance task. Take care of the car and you won't have expensive fixes.

drives so smooth, great features, and amazing safety. if I get rid of it, it would be to trade it for a new one

Pros

Technology and Entertainment: the only bad thing is the 2016 doesn’t have apple CarPlay
Interior Space: so much space and so comfy, my body didn’t hurt after driving 7 hours on a road trip

I love the safety features and the body style. I feel safe an secure, and so does my passengers.

Pros

Reliability: I grew up in a Volvo and it was always dependable reliable.

Cons

Cost to Maintain: Volvo is a luxury vehicle and the maintenance can be costly.
