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

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.

Needed a famiy vehicle after child number 2 arrived. Wanted AWD and luggage space. Compared PASSAT GLX AWD, MB e320 AWD, Audi A6 Avant and Audi Allroad. Looked briefly at he min- vans and suv's but not a big fan of these vehicles. After extensive analysis, we settled on the Volvo V70R and we are very happy with our choice. Great build quality, styling, comfort, performance and utility. Good value versus the competition. A few minor areas can be improved. The turning radius is wide, which doesn't impact driving but does affect u-turns and pulling into a tight parking spot. The stereo/climate control ergonomics can be improved a bit.

I waited 6 months to get this baby. Dark grey with Atacama. No nav, 6-speed, integrated boosters sunroof, etc. At 220 miles the rear diff exploded and had to be taken out and shipped back to Sweden. Had bad front wheelspin (and wheelhop) for a few weeks before I had the guts to ask what the deal was. By that time the front tires were gone. Ugly. 3 weeks on the rack. Only R with that problem to date. Power's great, seen 130MPH. Traded in my 1999.5 Audi S6 Avant.

Great, fun car to drive. Especially good on the road on a trip. Excellent navigation system. Four wheel drive is handy in inclement weather.
