My 4th Volvo in my stable

Volvo continues to deliver me a quality product. I prefer Volvo's wagons but also own a C70 HT. My preference is Overseas Delivery, an area where Volvo of Lisle also excells compared with other Chicago dealers I have spoken to. AWD is a blessing in Chicago's snowy 2003 winter and I insist my wife drives the V70 AWD when driving long distance this winter. Her C70 lacks AWD. Low maintenance costs, quiet ride, comfort, roominess and, of course, safety, is why I will stay with Volvo ans why my children also drive Volvo.

2004 Volvo V70R

I say: CAR OF THE YEAR! My car keeps pace with the Boxter yet can handle a surprisingly big load. The 4C system is user friendly and the buttons are centrally located. The 6-spd manual transmission is smooth and practically guides itself into each gate. The seats are the most comfortable I have ever driven and provide ample support. Be sure to get the optional stereo upgrade: 325 watts of pure music enjoyment. I got the On-Call service, which has an integrated phone (steering wheel controls too). The dials are very cool, especially at night! The performance, innovation, safety and price are all trend-setters and superior to the competition.

This Volvo is the best of all worlds. This car incorporates the world-class safety of a Volvo, the dependability and quality of a Volvo, the utility of a wagon (without bucking wind and guzzling fuel like an SUV), distinctive good looks (a Volvo is rarely mistaken for any other brand vehicle) and truly, enviromenally friendly fuel economy. But the fun begins when the twin turbo, 5 cylinder engine is fired. With 300 horses this car is a surprise to everyone...including the driver. The "active chassis" AWD adds additional opportunities for fun while increasing the overall safety of this car.

What a great car ! We had a 2002 Passat Wagon GLX 4 Motion and I was looking for more performance. We found the Volvo V70R, which meets every expectation for high performance vehicle in a wagon at good price. Buy it

In a class of its own!

Awd and 300hp, what a wonderful combination! This is not your average V70 or XC70. Traded my 2004 XC70 for a 2004 R and could not be any happier. The old fake wood interior finishing in the XC is replaced with real aluminum and wonderfully soft leather. Handling, even when not pushing the car to the limit, is much improved as well. Directional stability is on par with Volvo's German rivals, not something I would say about the XC70. Take it for a spin... best wagon without spending >$60k for the S6 Avant.
