Used 2005 Volvo XC70 Wagon Consumer Reviews
Happy
Excellent car for long trips with the family in all driving conditions available in the western US
Snow Car
My son is a ski racer and we travel many miles each weekend going to races. There is no better car on snow and ice than this car. I drive an A8 Quattro and I think that the Volvo is better in the snow than that car.

2005 Volvo XC70
The handling and comfort of this vehicle has surpassed our expectations. We traded a Suburban for this ride and we were worried about the reduced cargo space and to our suprise it packs vey nicely
Best of Volvo
This is my fourth Volvo, which I have been buying new since 1996. My 2005 XC70 is by far the best of all. Its handling is what I like best, so solid in its gripping of all road surfaces. Seating and interior space are top notch. I currently have 30,000+ miles and have not had any maintenance issues, other than those scheduled!!
Disaster
There is a distinct delay when stepping on the gas pedal which can be a problem pulling out in heavy traffic. This car is truly terrible in the snow, seems to float, not in a good way. Changed the tires and this helped somewhat, but don't buy this car if you live in a snowy part of the country. Had over 100 "faults" in the computer electrical system recently, the dealer says this car is a computer on wheels and after over $500 (no parts in this cost) in computer software downloads cannot say if the problem will ever be totally fixed.
