'02 2.4 ASR in WDC

Wife's car - has 25K miles. Bought new in early '03 before baby arrived (needed safer vehicle w/more cargo space); got great deal w/yr end clearance - chose over preowned '01 V70 for same price, 13K miles, & less options. Premium & Touring packages - Leather, sunroof, 16"alloys, 3rd seat, laminated glass . . . great car overall. Looks like the NHTSA finally crash tested the V70 for frontal and side impacts - 5 stars all the way around! Only problem thus far has been a burned out power lock motor in rear door (under warranty) and a burned out headlight (replaced myself). Will look at an XC90 next for more space . . . but will wait until the bugs are worked out from the first few yr

Outstanding Wagon

This is my third Volvo V70. The wagon is very comfortable, especially on long trips. Volvo has added many features to the car including the rain sensor which works very well. The car is child friendly and can take three child seats accross the middle seat with ease. My car is equipped with the reverse radar assist and it works very well. Recommend this option if you either park in close quarters or have little children. If you take this option, you should also install the module which will mute the radio.

AWD's At It's Best

This vehicle is SOLID. It feels substantial to drive and exudes safety. The doors have the definative THUD when closing and we feel secure even in the heaviest weather. Our '97 850T5 may have had more HP but this wagon has enough turbo to shock most soccer moms at the red lights. We got a great deal from Portland (ME) Volvo and haven't had one problem with it after 4500 miles. Great Vehicle!

V70 instead of SUV

I am a first time Volvo owner- previously I have had Acuras and been very satisfied. I was in the market for an SUV..but after looking at the V70 decided it really had everything I was looking for-versatility, styling, safety, and cargo space! Mine has the integrated booster seats-great idea. This car has the most comfortable seats I've ever known in a car-plus heated!! I can't wait to take it on vacation and camping!

Great Ride

Have had it only a few weeks, however, the quality, ride, comfort, and styling are super! Best looking station wagon on the market today. The seats are very comfortable. When driving you are unaware that this is a station wagon. Almost got a Passat station wagon (I have a Passat sedan that I am very happy with), however worked a deal with the Volvo that put me only $2,000 over the Passat wagon, plusthe Volvo had many more features. Feels much more solid than the Passat.
