It's Been Fun

Sometimes there is a bright and fun momemt when I remember what this car will do. Mostly it is used in normal service where it functions admirably. But when it has the opportunity it is a brilliant and extremely well balanced road car. I love it. My only complaint is that Volvo-Ford copped out on the interior stuff--too much plastic especially.

Have had this vehicle for 4wks at this point and have been very pleased. The car performs well (6sp MT, those with the geartronic auto have poorer performance). The handling is great, with a clear change with the suspension settings. The car corners very nicely, and is smooth at high speed. The interior is great...functional and full of comforts. The integrated child seats are a must for those bringing the kids along for the ride. This is a wolf in sheeps attire.

There is no substitute

I wanted a performance wagon that had to be "red". The only comparable vehicle from my perspective is the Audi S6 Avant. The "R" is a much better value. The build quality is "outstanding". The styling is a bit understated, but there are some very unique "R" touches that make it standout. I considered Audi A6 Avant, Audi Allroad, and VW Passat W8 wagons but felt the V70R was the best in the group based on performance, cargo capacity, features, color, and overall uniqueness (500 to be built). There is no substitute... If you can track down a V70R or a dealer with a open allocation, I suggest you move quickly because there are only 499 left!

I LIKE THE V70R VERY MUCH.THE QUALITY AND FIT -FINISH SEEMS TO BE VERY GOOD.THE ONLY COMPLAINT THAT I REALLY HAVE IS THAT VOLVO ADVERTISED THE V70R AS HAVING A BETTER PROFORMANCE RECORD THAN IT SEEM TO HAVE.A CAR THAT COST IN THE MID TO HIGH 40S AND HAS A CLAIMED 300 HP SHOULD HAVE BETTER NUMBERS.

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.
