Too many problems

My XC70 has 112,000 miles on it, and is as expensive to run as my Audi was, without the luxury. Each required service, basically a glorified oil change, runs anywhere from $250 to over $500. The AWD quit working last winter because of worn-out teeth on a coupler that attaches to the drive train, according to the mechanic a common problem. They want anywhere from $1000 to $3000 to fix it, depending on "unforeseen problems." Also, the condenser has a leak so the a/c quit working this summer. They want another $1000 to replace that. The radio has a short, which isn't repairable, only replaceable for around $800, and after market stereos can't be installed on Volvos due to a proprietary design.

I have owned my Volvo XC 70 for one year. In this time, I have come to really appreciate its engineering and design. It gives me excellent service and performance without any compromise. It handles beautifully in town and on the freeway. Its 5 cylinder motor with turbo gives me plenty of power when I need it. It has plenty of cargo space and its leather upholstery gives me the comfort I seek. I find it extremely comfortable to drive and its solid construction gives me a sense of security even when driving with heavy truck, and SUV traffic.

This vehicle is a great car, and saved lives twice. It always loves to get up and go and has almost been like family. They should not have redesigned for 2008. It has been through 2 5 car pile-ups, and saved my 3 friends their lives. This car is truly amazing. I would recommend Volvo to anyone looking for a life-saving vehicle.The XC70 is a beautiful legend.

Outstanding road car. I drive to Maine all the time on business and it is a pleasure to drive. I'm 6'4" and 260 lbs. Whoever designed to front seating did a great job. Great HVAC, reasonable gas mileage, fast, good in winter driving conditions. Just drove to Nova Scotia. 2200 miles. Car runs like a dream. My money well spent.

Can't have it all

2nd Volvo XC 70 for us. Previous was 03, with better mileage (17/26). City driving yields 13mpg, highway never better than 22. Also have had repeated problems with the tire pressure monitoring system--car has been back 3x for service--each time, they tweak, but warning message comes on after 30 minutes on highway. Never in short runs in city. Earlier they changed sensors, told me to keep tyres infated to 43psi (!) Now they have changed some electronics-let's see.
