Used 2008 Volvo XC70 Consumer Reviews
Mix Bag of Unknowns
We bought this in April and I am very sensitive to transmission quirks . It hunts incessantly from gear to gear indecisively making me a bit uncomfortable. I never felt confident and the mpg is not near the perf we should get. . I kept getting the runaround from the dealer saying its an "adaptive" trans. and would smooth out after break in , but I know cars and was upset 4 months later- gas mileage under 20 I finally snapped sold it on craigslist saying we were moving . Yeah moving from one car to another . The Volvo was true to its FORD bones-poor-power to weight. We got an Audi A4 - Like night and day- some sap got the VOLVO- Volvos now I know what all the hupla is about- nothing!
Love it!
I am so happy I bought this car. It handles beautifully in the snow and is very comfortable. The only negative I have found is the sun visors. They are not wide enough. The gap between the visor and the pillar is enough to cause a blinding glare. When they are straight down, they obscure the road. Other than that, everything is perfect.
