"Smart" car
There are numerous issues with this car in our experience. For one thing, it is "needy"! The constant in-dash warnings about servicing, oil changes, bulb placement problem (no clue what that means, it comes on and then goes off periodically), check-up times, etc., are a bit maddening. The cruise control would not work for some period, we had it into the dealership twice and of course they said it was working (it wouldn't misbehave for them), finally they realized they had to replace the pressure device at the brake pedal...
Stranded
I have driven more miles on the loaner than on my own car. I have owned this car for 30 days and 12 of them have been in the garage. So far the car has left me stranded twice. Then to add insult to injury they pick up the non-working car, and leave my wife and children* on the street to call our own cab and arrange our own rental car after hours on a holiday weekend. I would have to say I am dissappointed. * wife and children - For whom you bought the car, so they would be safe!

Most Comfortable Car Around
The Volvo V70 is by far the most comfortable car I've owned in my 52 years of car ownership. While our Lexus in superior to all ever owned in build quality, when it comes to a road trip we always take the Volvo as one can drive long hours and still arrive feeling fresh and relaxed. I often go out to the Volvo to do my reading as the seats are more comfortable than my favorite easy chair.
Bring on the snow!
3rd Volvo, very happy so far. Interior takes a little getting used to, much different than older wagons. Stereo is wonderful, instrumentation plain but perfect, great ergonomic positioning. I have sport seats and highly recommend them, super comfortable, but aren't all Volvo seats? Wagon is as versatile as ever, superb room and hauling capacity. 2.5T engine is a torque monster! Big improvement over the 2.4 in every area but fuel economy. GREAT ENGINE! The Haldex system is best in class. Effortless handling of snow and muck here in VT.
2004 V70R
An outstanding car all the way around. Fun to drive, completely stealthy at the line, and will beat many performance cars before they even know they are near another (since it is a wagon). it is well built and stylish, has great performance, safety, and reliability. OUTSTANDING!
