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

This has been an issue do to the set up of the car tires simply do not last very long (regardless of brand), and rotating them after a certian point cause quite a bit of road noise. see full Volvo V50 review
