This car has the turning radius ofthe Queen Mary. Also there should be a warning BEFORE the purchase that winter tires are necessary, a $700 surprise. The dash clock is difficult to read in most day light hours. The door lock system does not differentaite locking from unlocking. But great handling and performance in sheep's clothing.

Actually I got some problems with my car only one week after purchasing it. I had to leave it at my local workshop. But since then everything has been working fine. I really feel that this is a good car. It drives very quiet, the design is nice, etc. Volvo is definitely quality.

I absolutely love this car. It was purchased new from Volvo of Meriden in Meriden, CT. It is Volvo #5 for me and I will not buy anything other than a Volvo for the rest of my life. I only wish Volvo still made Volvo 70's. EVERYONE in the US owns a SUV; big deal. I want my station wagon.

Rides Like a Go-Cart

Yes the V70R can do it all. Absolutly it is an amazing machine. But, however the ride is very rough. You hit small bumps and it's like terrible even on comfort mode. I put a decent dent in the back rim just going over railroad tracks too fast. I sold my V70R within 6 months of having it, just couldn't handle the bumpy ride.

Extremely Reliable, Extremely Safe & Fun

This is our 3rd Volvo and I would probably rate Performance & Fun to Drive as 10's if it wasn't for also owning a S70 that has an upgraded ECU. But this V70 is just phenomenal! No repairs! It has air bags everywhere even in the pillars so curtain airbags will inflate if you're in a side impact- very safe! We like the power off the line that this car offers and nimble steering although it's a luxury car- great for tireless trips w/ the extremely comfortable seats. Upgraded to IPD swaybars & HD endlinks as well as a drop in K&N air filter. I knew these would make a difference in performance even before I bought the car...and well worth it! Also changed out the donut to a full size spare.
