The turning radius sucks, and that is putting it mildly. Around 40-41 feet, which puts it at a real disadvantage in parking lots. Why Volvo does that is beyond me, there are a lot of FWD cars that turn in 34 feet.

But the seats! No other car can match them, except perhaps Citroen and RR.

The AWD of the 2004 is quite reliable, but the Haldex system does need a oil and filter change every 40K miles. The ATF still needs flushing.

But the seats! and the set it and forget it climate control.
