Longevity
My Volvo has been going strong since my family purchased in late 2003. I personally have had it since 2007, and it hasn't failed me since. The overall styling of the car has kept it relevant even now. It is customizable with body kits that you can purchase to help make it look and feel more like your own. As long as the services are up to date, it can perform like new even though it's over 10 years old. It does very well on gas mileage, and the power steering allows you to have relaxed control as you drive (i.e. not fighting the wheel to maintain your lane, which is good for long haul drives).

Fun car to drive, expensive to maintain
My vehicle is a 2004 Volvo S60R. This car is a concealed power house of a car with a 2.5 liter 5-cylinder turbo engine. This car goes 0-60 in just 5.5 seconds and is a real treat to drive. The inside of the car feels luxurious and the shape of the steering wheel makes you feel connected. I like how well the car responds to actions and the active chassis settings which allow you to go from “comfort” mode to “advanced” mode with a touch of a button. The leather inside the car doesn’t feel over-done or cheap. Good thought and engineering was put into the design of the car and the placement of the controls all feel intuitive. The brakes are extremely responsive and even though the car can seat four people the car doesn’t feel heavy driving it. The car is stylish, slick and sexy and is a head turner. This car does an average 18 to 25 MPG, but with the upgrade of just a K&N filter, its now closer to 20 to 27 MPG.
My biggest dislike about this vehicle is the cost of maintenance. The average cost of each shock absorber is $400+ and a simple brake job can easily range over $400. Since the car has a turbo, expect to pay for premium gas and full synthetic oil. This car is also slowly starting to deteriorate at 106K miles. The inside leather is starting to wear down and the center console is slowly starting to fall apart.
