We own 6 cars; every car we own is a performance car INCLUDING the XC70. We're STILL too sporty of a family for a minivan yet we DO need to haul a couple of kids and their gear. "Smallish" 2.5 Low Pressure Turbo can't hang with my AWD, Turbocharged 535 hp S10 project but neither can a Viper! :) BUT, this thing will do a sub 8 second 0-60 blast in cool weather! We observed 27 MPG on a trip at speeds of 75-80 mph. My wife has a lead foot and averages 18.2 miles per gallon in city driving. Handling of the "hi rider" XC70 is not "Vettelike" but it is passable and very safe in an emergency situation. The seats are AWESOME!

We purchased a XC wagon for safety and reliability but its been in the shop 7 times in 12 months, one time to replace the airbags which had malfunctioned! Most repairs have been electrical issues. Very fun to drive and front seats are ultra comfortable. The back seats are not comfortable and there are no cup holders unless you use the front middle console. Backing up is difficult due to low seats/narrow windows = poor visibility.

I traded in a troublsome 2000 M Class. The XC is off to a good start with no surprises. The engine is strong (I use 89 octane)and runs flawlessly. The front seats a fantastic but the rear seats a just a bit firm. The standard CD player is fine. I have not had to use it in snow yet. Mileage on the highway is at or over the EPA numbers. I hope that it is as trouble free as my wife's 96 Vovlo sportwagon which has had no problems since new, just regular servicing.
30K+ gut check on the xc

We have 33,000 miles on our XC in an urban environment. Gone through one set of tires and had some maintenance on the beast that was covered under warranty-We are thrilled to death with all it has to offer so far. Nice pick up, good mileage, interior is holding up well in a severe duty environment (2 small children that throw food. Our experienced problems were: digital info center on dash failed, sway bar failed, power stearing pump was leaking, a dash rattle, and the remotes needed re- programing. Service was very good and included a loaner car. All the maintenance was covered and done at about 28K.
Great All Around Vehicle

I have had the XC70 for about 2 months now and could not be happier. The combination of comfort features, flexibility for carrying cargo, and safety cannot be beat.
