Absolutely not. Too many serious issues in a short amount of time. Also, beware of those low mileage used cars. There’s a reason the first owner didn’t keep it for long.

Absolutely. Very happy with the car and no issues whatever. @FumbleBee has had more than their share of woes, but I think you will find it to be the case regardless of brand, that some folks just get problems, and it sucks if you are the unlucky one who does.

Exactly. When it’s working well, it’s one of the finest vehicles in that price range on the road today. But it’s a gamble, and if you end up like me, stranded multiple times within the first 5000 kilometers, it just sours the experience forever, even if the dealer does their best to mitigate the catastrophe.

Ultimately, the forum’s “mission” is to inform you, the OP, via our respective experiences, and in the end you take all that information and you make the decision to get the car or not. And you’ll get a fair bit of very positive experiences, as well as horrible nightmarish ones. I know some of the regulars on here who have had a very solid, reliable ownership experience since day one (minus a few reboots here and there). But then there’s the guy in Australia who’s on his third “Propulsion System Critical” failure, one of those happening on a highway in the middle of nowhere, that could’ve been pretty dangerous.

So yeah. When it’s good it’s real good, but it’s not been good for me (and a few others on here), so it’s important you get those stories too.

Dolores (yeah it's a Seinfeld joke) is meant to be a city car almost exclusively, though, (…)

Fun fact, ours was colloquially known as Mulva (because, Volvo). That Seinfeld episode is the gift that keeps on giving
