I've been running the FM13 for about two years now, mostly on regional hauls with mixed loads. The cab is comfortable enough, decent visibility and those seats are actually good for my back (which isn't always the case). Controls feel straightforward, not much hunting around for stuff. Only thing that bugs me is the electronics, especially in cold weather, sometimes takes a couple tries to get everything booted. The ride is smooth, doesn't bounce me around even when the roads are bad. Fuel consumption's pretty average, about as expected but nothing impressive. Maintenance is ok, not cheap, but not Volvo's worst either. Had one issue with the AdBlue system, cost me a day in the shop, not very fun honestly.

I spent a week driving the FM 420, mostly highway, some city and a few bad roads in between. First impressions - the air suspension seat is a blessing, you can mess with the lumbar and height, made my back hurt less by the end of the day. I liked the visibility, lower cab height actually helps, mirrors cover most blind spots but there's always that one angle missing. AC and heating are solid, though didn't get to try heating much here. Music system is there but speaker placement isn't the best. Door handles are oddly placed, keep reaching for the wrong spot. Climbing in and out is easy, steps are wide and grip well even in the rain. Rear bunk is decently spacious - not exactly hotel room but good enough to stretch out for a nap. As for service and parts, didn’t run into issues yet but Volvo has a decent network, at least in bigger cities. Wasn’t blown away by some of the plastics and small details, but nothing that ruins the experience. JK tyres seem reliable so far. Would love it if price was less but it's not shocking for this segment.

The Volvo FM's safety features definitely stand out. The truck's design prioritizes vision for drivers, a big deal in crowded urban areas. I noticed the active safety systems provide great assistance during tight maneuvers. However, while the technology is impressive, it might feel a bit much for drivers who prefer a more straightforward setup. Still, it's hard to argue with its solid Euro NCAP rating.

Driving the Volvo FM 450 has been a decent experience. The suspension system works well on varied terrains, offering a comfortable journey. The interior dashboard layout is compact and well-equipped but might feel a bit crowded for some. Handling is precise, though it could feel slightly rigid in specific scenarios. Maintenance-wise, it's manageable and doesn't seem overly demanding. As for its pricing, it aligns well with the features provided. It's a reliable vehicle capable of meeting expectations, with minor areas that might benefit from refinement.

I’ve driven the Volvo FM 450 for a decent number of trips now. Performance-wise, it's got the juice with the D11K engine. It handles inclines well, and fuel efficiency isn’t bad either. However, the cab can feel a bit cramped, especially if you're used to the FH. But the lower entry step, that's handy during frequent stops. Overall, it’s a solid option, but I wouldn’t pick this for extended trips.
