I doubt that if (and it's a big if) that anyone can get in quickly and have less of a chance of driving it away.

Problems and Ownership

Other
Rear stop light is not tight against window and floods with red at night. I have seen the same problem on other models. Vendor says they are sending a technical report to Volvo. Light dash tends to reflect in the windscreen but you get used to it.

Yes
