Oh my. This is my third Volvo. For a 50 ton wagon it is tight. 207HP stock, in dash phone plus all the goodies. Top speed reported at 125 plus easy. Comfort 10+ Highway zip 10+ Love it.

Overall, we are happy with the 2003 V70. The car handles very well, it is esthetically pleasing, gets good gas mileage, and has great storage. The main complaint is with a cold-start problem. The car would not start at temperatures below about 30 - 35F. Frustratingly ironic for a Swedish car. Left us stranded once. Eventually, Volvo tracked the problem down to a faulty engine control module after a few repair attempts. Since then, we've had no complaints. Would probably buy another.

Volvo V70 2.4 T Black with Black Drives a bit better than a truck and easier to park. It's an attractive car that really shines when you have people and things to move. It's huge! I guess you don't buy a VOLVO for fun and this new model proves it. I have about 1,000k on it and if it turns out to be reliable i'll be happy about my decision to purchase a VOLVO. It's still better than a truck!

I don't know what to say, this has got to be my most favorite volvo of all time.All those standard safety features, no wonder it's the safest car in the world. The seats are so comfortable and there is plenty of cargo room for what ever your hauling.

Ok, its been only two weeks since Ive had this car, but I really am enjoying it. Previous car was a 00' BMW 328, so my standards are high. The interior is nicely laid out with a feel of quality and quiteness to the cabin. Like one of my friends said " its like driving a pillow". Unfortunately, the cabin is so "airtight" that when you do open the moonroof it does make a vibrating noise. One compliant: When shifting the automatic transmission, its wishy washy...you have to be sure that its really in reverse rather than neutral.
