We bought our red stick shift V70 last summer, and are very pleased with it. If you want a 7 passenger vehicle (we got the rear rumble seat) without having to drive a huge SUV or minivan, this is it. It's not tremendously sporty, but has adequate pickup and corners well. It's also very comfortable for long drives. Service and parts are very expensive.

Gas Hog! Like an SUV

This is a solid, quality and well appointed car. Feels like it is worth the money and is comfortable to drive. Great capacity and a steady family hauler. However, the real world fuel economy is far worse than claimed by Volvo. If you care about emissions and fuel economy you should not buy this car. I am not sure how Volvo manages to fool EPA ratings but the real world fuel consumption is more like an SUV than a sedan or wagon. I would not buy again due to this.

I am ever so grateful for the effort put in to my 2006 Volvo V70 2.5T by it's British designer. It is 17 years old and it has more style and class than the majority of cars on the road today. The wood trim is very nice and leather seats are first rate and comfortable, The sound system, the duel air/heat,the sunroof still function as if they were brand new. The car has no problem in the speed dept it has all that is required for any situation. The shifting is smooth and takes the curves with ease. Bravo Mr. Horbury, you turned a box into a beauty and I am the better for it.

There's nothing finer than a Volvo in Carolina

I have owned my '06 V70 for 4 1/2 years and I love my wagon. I have had other vehicles and I love this vehicle. It's a comfortable ride for long trips and it's my truck as I use the cargo area for hauling a variety of things. The 2.5T has plenty of punch and great gas mileage is a plus.
