Let me put it this way: road trip across Canada. Last day getting home drove 1,500kms in 15 hrs (including breaks, of course). No neck or back pain. The front seats are extremely comfortable. see full Volvo V50 review |

Volvo should be ashamed for such lousy seats. They know how to build great seats but they shortchanged the V50. see full Volvo V50 review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD |
6 speed manual, nice flat torque curve. Turbo engine offers adequate performance and decent fuel economy. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Responsive, with lots of low-end torque. No turbo lag. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
Nice, low end and an adequate plus 6 speed manual. Nice balance of torque, acceleration and fuel economy. Turbos will become more popular if they work as well as this one. see full Volvo V50 review |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The only V50 that I was able to test drive was not a manual transmission and to me did not "feel" as fun as the A4. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The engine could use some power considering the weight of the car and how much you can load into it. TO be fair, I have the less powerful 2.4 non-turbo. see full Volvo V50 review |
