It was fun to drive, but a couple of things bugged my wife and me. First, the doors were extremely heavy and stiff sprung, so it was difficult for an older person to get in and out of the front seats. Secondly, the passenger side A/C baffles and valves never worked right, baking the passenger's feet. I tried everything I knew to correct this, but finally traded the car. We went back to Volvo with a 2007 V70T, which is a joy to drive, and has all of the creature comforts one could want. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
