I am going to expose myself a bit here. I like that Edward has a Volvo. I know it's a Volvo and that's basic. But if you've read Midnight sun you know it's a Volvo S60 R, now that car looks like this.

Not exactly a basic volvo but still not super stand offish. Now when I read twilight and they just said Volvo I was like WTF a Volvo, why. However this car the S60 R. I would buy it, because from factory it had 300hp which is nearly a much as a BMW M3 which has 325hp. Now to put all this Car and Driver talk into perspective I drive a 2020 Kia Cerato/Forte my car only had around 150hp and my last car which was a 2000 Toyota Corolla a car from around the same era as Edwards only had 113hp. The Volvo is also lighter then the BMW and is all wheel drive. I also believe that we are meant to react as oh it's just a Volvo what a boring car. The Cullens want to blend in so why would they go to school in anything other then a boring volvo that secretly could make an awesome rally car.

The issue with the Volvo for me comes in the movie when they first give him a C30 a car which at top specifations gets 217hp but couldn't fit all his family because it is tiny. This car I will admit is a bit boring. And then in New Moon and Eclipse they give him a freaking XC90 a soccer mum car. In Breaking Dawn however he does finally get a S60 but it isn't an R it's a what looks like a D3 teknik which makes a measly 160hp my base spec Kia makes nearly that much.

In conclusion for Edward car to be good it had to be the one from the books a 2005 Volvo S60 R a car which is better the a WRX at rallysports and has nearly as much horsepower as a 2005 M3. Not the stupid middle age mum cars from the movies.

Tldr: Edwards book car is a beast 300hp and movie cars are middle age mum cars yuck.
