2008 Volvo XC 70 Basic

Purchased new. Basic model with no options. Very comfortable interior, great seats, clear controls. Reasonable acceleration, sounds fine, smooth transmission. Average fuel economy for weight and off road capability. Well built and feels solid with lots of airbags. Plenty of space. Floaty ride, but comfortable and seems reasonable for a cross over.

Bought the XC70 in June of 08. Has not had one problem. Only been in for regular maintenance. I drive highway miles to work and average 28 mpg. Would buy the car again.

Solid car protected me during off- set/head-on 55 MPH collision on 101 north of Hopland, CA. Other driver decided to make a u-turn on 101! Car took the crash well. Felt like I was in a vault. Slightly underpowered, needs turbo. Got same model again with more options.

I have had the car for nine years . Admittedly the mileage is low, but it is like a new 🚗 car. I had some trouble s few years back with the motherboard, which was replaced. Unfortunately, even though the car had very low mileage I had owned it for more than 5 years so it was out of warranty . Love ❤️ my Volvo XC 70!

We recently purchased the 2008 XC70 after an exhausted search. The ride is exceptional and the seat are very comfortable. We are averaging 21mpg which we fell is reasonable. The build quality so far is also exceptional, not a rattle or the slightest defect to be found after two months. The park assist is excellent giving parking assist on front, back and sides. Radio and speakers are very good. I like the fact that the controls are very clear, easy to locate and only the controls you really need on the steering wheel -- cruise control on one side and radio on the other side. Overall we are exceptionally happy with our purchase
