2011 Volvo XC70 T6 4dr Wagon AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
A fine car. Comfy, functional, powerful, attractive, high quality, safe, and nearly a bargain compared with other "wagons". It replaced my wife's 1996 850 wagon- which I never liked--
and we bought it with European delivery for about $40k (with climate, convenience, incl taxes and license). We put about 3k mi on it in Europe and averaged, according to the display, 24.4 mi/gal. (But $140 … fill ups are very painful).
The mpg was a pleasant surprise considering the EPA rating (22 mpg hwy) and some of the reviews.
Effortless cruising at 200 kph on the Autobahn. Overall, almost as impressive as my BMW 335i E92 but they're much different beasts.
I LOVE my T6!

2011 Volvo XC70 T6 4dr Wagon AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Volvo has read my mind- all my "issues" with my 2008 standard XC70 have been completely corrected in the 2011 T6 model.
It is absolutely worth the extra $ for the turbo version.
I traded in my 2008 and a 2008 BMW M3 on this Volvo and I don't miss the BMW at all because the new Volvo is so much fun to drive.
The best of both worlds.
Way to go, Volvo!
A beautiful wagon

2011 Volvo XC70 T6 4dr Wagon AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
We had wanted to buy one of these for over a year, and I had done extensive research.
I initially wanted a V70, but wife wanted the AWD.
I thought the base XC70 3.2 was too slow and inefficient, and wanted to see what happened after Ford sold Volvo to the Chinese.
I'm glad I waited.
Not only were prices slashed, but quality and features improved.
I picked up an XC70 T6 cheaper than last … year's base model.
Volvo hired a good CEO, and the workers in Gothenburg are happier than they were under Ford.
This combined with it being the 3rd production year should mean improved reliability, but we'll see.
I'll post a long term update after 10000 miles.
Very fun to dirve

2011 Volvo XC70 T6 4dr Wagon AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I had a 2005 Subaru Forrester XT with 94K miles, and decided it was time for a new vehicle .
I wanted a car that was fun to drive, yet able to carry me, my friends and camping gear up Idaho forrest roads.
I looked at 2010 Forrester and Outback, but settled on the XC 70 T6.
It is very fun to drive.
I love the comfortable seat and the relatively quiet AWD.
The handling was excellent and … the turbo had loads of pickup.
I've only had it a week, but I am very happy.
