Volvo V50 Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

Based on tried and tested components, so promises to be very reliable - and better screwed-together than the disappointing Dutch-built V40. It's assembled with attention to detail, with a high-quality cabin featuring pleasant fabrics, plastics and detailing.
