Now that they're coming on to the used market, I've been wondering whether any one has had good experiences with them.

I've heard the critics say, "It's not a real Volvo, it's based on a Mitsubishi, etc.", but is it really that bad?? It's got a version of the white block, that seems to be capable of rolling up the miles in 5 cylinder form. Is there anything else that should cause a person to worry?
