Fun in Sun and Snow

I really enjoy my AWD V70 Volvo. It has been a pleasure to drive. We have had an ongoing problem with the sun roof leaking. The carpet has been replaced three times. The roof racks sold by Volvo whistle, which is a little disappointing. The dealership has indicated that they do not have a solution or a fix for the problem, which seems absurd. I have had to resort to rack pads to squelch the annoying hissing pitch. The performance in snow or icy conditions has been superb. Overall, it is a great car, a little underpowered, but fun to drive in either sun or snow.
Elegance Meets Common Sense

For the price of admission, one gets some of the finest automotive engineering available on the planet. The vehicle handles extremely well in all situations, visibility is excellent, performance is more than adequate and does it with an eye towards fuel economy. Seating comfort is excellent even for my large 6'2" frame. Controls are easy to see and logically placed for access. Yes, the radio controls are "quirky" and take some getting used to, especially as it relates to changing stations. Using the steering wheel mounted controls simplifies this task once you have preset the stations.
Awesome

I am 6'4", 240 lbs, and I fit this vehicle nicely. Almost every new vehicle presents this challenge to me, either I have no headroom, or my shoulder hits the side beam. Not so on this baby, to quote James Brown " I FEeL GOOD". Power is good and milage is good, the upgraded stero is awesome!
excellent awd wagon

Have 4,000 miles, so far no problems. Awd handles deep snow with no problems, feels very stable with wet conditions. Fuel economy could be better-have gotten 26 mph on skiing road trip.Car is so comfortable-definite long trip vehicle.Compared Subaru, VW passant 4- motion, Volvo was most comfortable- more room.
better than most

XC is a very nice car. Electrical not Volvo forte- three times in to fix door locks which locked for no reason- dealer claimed it might be loose change in my pocket! Scorpion tires must go-very poor wear. Steering is too loose. With that said, I'm picking up my new XC '04 end of month!
