I've gotta soft spot for Volvo overall, so a little biased, but I think this is a great little ride!! Certainly one I'd look to shop ahead of most of its competitors! Love the interior & exterior as well... and I'm sure the drive is just as good as Justin has described it.

this is one of my favourite small utes, and the review is relatively positive as well.

I drove one on a nice January day.  I really liked it. The one I drove was the Momentum T5, the cheap one, loaded with all the goodies like the one in the article.
If one wants a colour, not black, white or silver that is just about the only way to do it.    I note that CR doesn’t like it and prefers the XC60.  If I finally decide to buy a new car I will go and drive both...another pricing anomaly as a nearly basic XC60 is not much more than a loaded 40.  But Mrs Tpl might think the XC60 is just too big.

My 6 year old C30 starts in frigid temperatures without bring plugged in.  Doesn’t even have a block heater.
