Volvo V50
With a choice of engines and the possibility of getting an all-wheel drive system, the V50 is one of the most attractive luxury compact station wagons on the market. Its practical side alone explains its success, which is superior to that of the S40 sedan from which it is directly derived. With no price hike for 2009, it is available with a more generous standard equipment package, including 16-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, and audio controls on the steering wheel.
