If you want to drive a car/wagon without feeling tons of weight and moving a hefty-size SUV, this is the crossover that you need. I've definitely found myself in love with this XC wagon, not just me but my entire family. It's such a versatile everyday car. Also come in handy moving stuff and going for long trips. Plus the Volvo's legendary safety features loaded in this car. The only thing I would do differently is to buy this car earlier. Gas mileage is quite good in its class, I get around 22 to 24 for mostly sub-urban city driving.
Not reliable any longer

When my husband passed I needed a reliable car. I purchased a used XCV70Turbo in June 2004. I have driven Volvos for 30 years, 7 new and this one used. I felt confident I had a dependable vehicle. The car performed well until February 2007 when the engine began missing and stalling. My dealer said the engine has failed and is ruined. It is still under warranty but the warranty company refuses to honor it. The car has 75,000 miles on it. I now have no car and it will cost me several thousand to just get it off my hands - I still owe more than the dealer will give me even for a trade in. I will not be throwing this kind of money at Volvo ever again. Sad ending to a long friendship w Volvo.

I bought this volvo reluctantly because of worries about reliability; however, this wagon has FAR exceeded my expectations. It is quick, capable in any road condition and gets much better milage than my former suburban and sequoia. I have had NO issues with this car in over a year with the exception of burnt out headlights which I had read about- my dealer replaces them for free, so I don't mind! I will most definatley buy another one when this one wears out!!
XC is a big improvement over SUV

After 2 small SUV's I bought the XC. With the interior capacity, roof rack with cross rails and roof storage container, I can carry more than when I had an SUV. The ride is much smoother and the power of the turbo helps getting on the highway. I get about 18mpg around town and 28mpg on the highway. I have kept up with maintenance and only had a problem with a leaky angle drive. I have to drive farther for work, so I am putting more highway mileage on it. Very comfortable to drive long distance.
Fun until the electrical system acts up

I owned a 2001 V70 Xc for two years 30 minutes off a lot of a Volvo dealership and boom!!! Etm issues , Thankfully they fixed it but it took two days to get it back I got it back it ran fine regular oil changes then!!! My check engine light comes on I took it for a obd2 read and they said it was a turbocharger problem. Had that fixed then started having electrical issues up the arse!!! Headlights wouldn't come on the info screen said electrical maintenance required, airbag warning coolant low turn off vehicle warning even though the coolant was topped off . the thing that screwed seriously up was the transmission it said transmission maintenance required I let the car sit for a week turn it on and then it runs fine until I go down a hill and blow my turbo . that is the day I scrapped it and bought a 1990 240 dl lol never had a problem since
