Mercedes is completely superior to Volvo, which feels plasticky and noisy with poor fit and finish, a poor tactile feel in the controls and a lack of buttons.

This review applies to the GT version; cheap glossy plastics in the interior, lack of physical, dedicated climate/vent controls, narrow trunk width. On the plus side, excellent suspension that soaks up all the bumps, especially on gravel roads.
