Love the V70 Wagon. Would ultimately love the XC or new XC90, but my wagon is roomy, great to drive and can haul anything. Will drive it till the wheels fall off, at least that's what my husband says. :)

Less than one day after my purchase of an ultra clean silver v70 wagon with 135k and just a few obvious repairs needed. We paid 4995 less 1750 bucks for my somewhat hated kia rio 5 speed no power steering car that I bought new 9 years ago. The mixed reviews tell me I am in for some costly repairs but until then this car seems better for not too much money spent. Also the car insures for much less (60.00 a month full coverage) because of it's high safety rating. We'll see I guess

I really like this car. It is solid and practical. Great cargo room, long and lower than SUVs. With my Thule roof rack I can carry kayaks, bicycles, or lumber on top without help getting it on the load bars. However, since 100K miles I'm putting quite a bit of money into repairs. Maybe that's normal, but my wife's 1994 Accura Legend with 164K miles has needed fewer repairs (per her). Wonderful winter car too.

Love the safety and feeling of driving a tank. Very comfortable to drive long distances. Seat belts have been replaced in two seats! Replacing light/bulbs is a very common thing, very annoying. Driver Power window button had to be replaced, back seat is broken now; too many "little" but important knobs and lights had to be replaced. Other cars I'ved owned, had never this experience!
