07 comes with USB input in the armrest. big plus. I know the stock HU for the entry level Volvo have a terrible time reading any sort of burned disc. Most folks just give up. Which makes the USB option nice. Upgrading the HU is costly because of it's advanced build into the console.
What put me off the V50, (which was THE car I was going to get after the focus wagon), was the fuel economy. It's brutal, the 2.5L is a great engine, but the wagon is heavy. It only get worse going to AWD and T5. The focus is super economical on gas, and 'you have to pay to play'. For me as a Guelph-Toronto commuter, the pay outweighed the play. I was able to find similarily equipped vehicles for the same $$, with less KM.
I do look at the v50 longingly everytime I see one. We'll get one, just not yet.
Have you looked through the dealer pre-owned online?
