I love the unique exterior styling. No other car like it right now. The front end is the same as the larger S40, but the back end is a beautiful glass hatch.
For a starting price in the low 20s, you get the Volvo T5 engine found in higher priced S40 model. The 230 hp makes this little car flry.
The large doors feel really solid for example. The interior seems to be made of high quality materials. Nothing feels cheap in this car.
Very simple, Ikea-like styling. If you like simple and not flashy, this is a great interior. Everything is simple and convenient to access. The seats are extremely comfortable as well.
Watch out for the options, but if you just want a fun and unique car to drive, a base model will cost you a little over 20K.
