Used 2007 Volvo XC70 Consumer Reviews
WOULD OWN A DOZEN MORE OF THESE CARS!!!!
As reliable as the day is long!! I bought this car because I loved the 240 GL that we used to own!! After buying it, I learned to love it, too! I quickly realized that it had poor resale value, but that was after the fact. But, after developing a network of those to depend upon in case of problems, I understood that in the 55,000 miles that I've owned this car, it hasn't let me down ONCE!! I had to have the front axles replaced by a private mechanic, a wear and tear item and a radiator, again a wear and tear item. Other than that, I've just had to follow the owner's manual and it's been a fabulous ownership experience...and I bought this car with 82,000 miles on it!! On the road, there is nothing like it! It handles superbly and securely! It actually inspires confidence! It's our 'road trip' vehicle because of the confidence that it inspires! I am totally happy with my 2006 XC70, but I tend to shy away from the dealership because of their excessive repair costs. Volvo should outlaw their dealership repair network because they are not consumer friendly AT ALL price-wise! That’s probably why these vehicles have such poor resale value. I am disappointed in this vehicle's resale value, but that behooves me with buying my next Volvo! As I learned from an old Army buddy of mine, “take care of your equipment and it'll take care of you!” Can't say enough good about my XC!! I would DEFINITELY buy another Volvo (used car) since I have my repair network in place....outside of the dealership!

computer problems AGAIN
you'd think the engineers at Volvo would get the electrical right. my '06 is the 2nd XC70 where the computer failed and the car stopped- this time in rural Vermont. call 800# and you get 25 miles towing and NOTHING else. this is my last Volvo- NOT DEPENDABLE!

Great for an outdoorsy on-the-go family!
We've owned our XC70 for four years and hope to keep it forever. We take many road trips - mountains, coasts, 1000+ mile trips, and it's been wonderful. We haven't had any problems at all. We do our regular oil changes and maintenance and it just goes anywhere we wish to take it! Today - at around 41K miles - we are shopping around for our first new set of tires. The Pirelli's that came with the car were OK, but we're going to put some Michelin's on to see how we like those better. The kids get carsick in other vehicles, but have never had a problem in the XC70. We also camp quite a bit and are able to fit everything for a family of four into the back. We're very happy with our Volvo!

A Smooth Ride
This is my first experience with Volvo and after having driven the XC-70 for two years, I submit this review. The XC-70 is a wonderful machine with an incredibly smooth ride for a wagon. I feel very safe in this vehicle and the weight of the XC-70 surrounding me evokes a secure feeling. The XC-70 handles well in inclement weather and is easily maneuvered when quick action is required. For comfort and safety, I would recommend this model to any couple who loves to travel by auto. Would not recommend it if back seat passengers are often along -- too cramped.For safety and reliability, I would say it is second to none.
