Great 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.
God I Love Hot Rod Wagons
My biggest problem with this car is that it's my wife's to drive on the weekdays. She needs it for the kids. I find myself at work looking forward to the weekend, when I get to drive it. As with any Volvo, it's a tank. The brakes are normally quite good, but the V70R brakes stop on half a dime. It feels like it has a lot more than the rated 300 HP. My Boss's S6 wagon just doesn't match it. We have the orange leather interior, which pushes it over the edge to PHAT. Or at least as phat as a Volvo can ever be. A little part of me died when Volve announced this year that they were discontinuing it.

This just a great Car
Fun AWD Wagon
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.
