This car is solid, beautiful, and fun to drive. It has the feel of a luxury sedan, but it is great in inclement weather. Gorgeous detail, great looking car, and of course, safe!

Outstanding. Have been cross the country with it when we moved from Colorado to NY. Very secure in the snow and all other conditions. Lots of room for everything.

2-Month Review

Have had my XC70 for about 2 months now. Gas mileage is better than our 2001 2WD Suburban, but at about 14MPG in town, it's less than I expected. (Did read another review saying it should improve after 5k miles). Quick & very fun to drive; handles great; smooth transmission. Front seats are VERY comfortable. Back has almost no legroom. I'm 6'4" and my 4-yr old son cannot sit behind me b/c there's NO legroom. Has great features like auto- up and down front windows; same with sunroof; cargo tray in rear; rain sensing wipers; Geartronic; trip computer; well laid out controls. Aluminum passenger grab bar gets HOT in sun. Not a good place for coins. My wife is coveting the car.

I purchased a 2005 Volvo XC 70 to replace my 2002 XC70 CC. It is virtually same car, but with smoother performance and ride. The transmission on my 2002 broke down at around 28,000 miles, but I purchased another one anyway. This is a great wagon. It is very dependable and fun do drive. The outside visability problems that I expereiced with my 2002 have been corrected to a degree. This model's response, including turbo, is smoother than in 2002 was and the transmission definitely works better. It has great pickup and hugs the road. Its perfect for snowy weather. I can drive with no problem in weather that forces other 4WD off the road. Overall, this is a good car even for the slightly lofty price.

I Love the '05 XC 70

The 2005 Volvo XC 70 handles well, and is comfortable to drive. I love the heated seats and dual climate control. I also like all of the great safety features, including the all- wheel drive. I will probably purchase another Volvo in about 15 years.
