 Great five-star safety rating all around. It does very, very well there. Of course, it's a Volvo 31 Highway, which is great for a car of this size and an all-wheel drive vehicle. 23 city for an aggregate number of 26 miles to the gallon. I like it because it is not a high SUV. It is basically a station wagon. Very usable, user-friendly, can fit in your garage easily.
