When I drove my sister's 2002 XC70 last year I couldn't believe how comfortable this car still was and how smooth the car handled and sounded. Had a chance to test drive the 2016 FWD XC70 and was seduced by this Viking beauty immediately. Didn't need the AWD and prefer the great gas mileage with the FWD. This car was superior to Highlander, Outback, V60, and a few other mid range SUV's … that I had a chance to test drive. Seat comfort is equal to our 2013 Sienna Limited. Road noise in XC70 is minimal. This car is a refreshing alternative to cookie cutter Outbacks and SUV's. Audio controls are dated but sound system is excellent. I have to say that I feel much safer driving this very solid wagon. Both sons fit comfortably in the rear seats and they are 6'3" and 6'5". My back feels great after driving 3 to 3.5 hours per day!
