 2006 Volvo V50 Review - ForbesAutos.com
Volvo has broadened its appeal and dialed up the hip factor in recent years thanks to a corporatewide makeover that began in 1999 with its top-of-the-line large sedan, the S80.
The front-wheel-drive V50 is basically the wagon version of the S40 sedan and is virtually identical to it from the front doors forward.
The V50 T5 ($27,610) comes with a turbocharged, 218-hp, five-cylinder and can be optioned with all-wheel drive for $1,775, which is a good deal considering it also comes with a stiffer sport-tuned suspension.

 2005 Volvo V50 - Review - Automobile Magazine
Volvo's previous small wagon, the V40, was a terrifically average car that ambled down the road of mediocrity with a 1.9-liter, 170-horsepower four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and an automatic transmission.
Volvo officials explain this situation by halfheartedly muttering something about the front-wheel-drive manual T5 being lighter and less expensive, but it seems counterintuitive that performance-oriented drivers would want a manual transmission only if they could use it to smoke the front tires like herring.
Volvo wagons have a long tradition of being so relentlessly functional and dorky that they actually became sort of cool-see the 240 and the 700-series, for example.

 2005 Volvo V50 T5 - Review
So I drove the V50 around my home town and over some of my favorite roads and found that traction was not as good as in the S40 and handling was slightly poorer.
Inside the V50 was roomy, especially for front-seat passengers, and had the same unique collection of design surprises that can be found in the sedan – like the center stack, which is unlike that in any other non-Volvo.
I left the V50 in my driveway at home, hopped a couple of planes, and found myself in Quebec City, where Volvo was conducting a Winter Driving Experience.

Their useful little pockets on the leading edge of the cushions are becoming an unofficial Volvo trademark – they make up for small door pockets.
Volvo's safety extends to six airbags, electronic stability control, anti-whiplash seats, integrated child seats in the rear and an intelligent driver information system – this holds incoming phone calls and minor warnings (such as for low washer fluid) if it detects the driver has a high workload from hard driving or heavy traffic.
Safety is expected from a Volvo, but the V50's finesse on the road is still a novelty.
