Went from a 2004 v70 to the 09 xc70 and it surpasses it in every way. Plenty of kick if you have to speed up to merge. Smooth as silk driving. Comfortable as anything ever. Higher gas mileage would be great but it’s fine on the hwy. Sound system is great! I’m an audio engineer and I’m always happy bumping my music floating up the roads. Enjoy the ride!

Great XC again

This is my fourth XC70 -- I current;y own one in the US and lease another in Europe. I have previously owned a 1999 (which had problems) and a 2001 XC70 which I picked up in Sweden on Volvo's Tourist program. Contrary to the other review here, I am delighted with my new XC70. It is a solid comfortable ride. I did change the tires from the Continentals it came with to Bridgestones. It's a great addition to the lineup.. I do wish it had the Four C suspension. I got misled by the dealer about that.

A surprise

We already own a 2002 XC70. We decided to get another car and the wife decided she was only getting another XC. The 2002 has been the least hassle car we have owned. We have had a Chevy die in a toll booth, chryslers with ABS computer problems, Jags with various quirks. The only problem with the 02 was a stuck filler door fixed under warranty. I was leery of the reported fuel mileage and can state that to get to 18mpg one has to be going 87 mph. This was the surprise. Normal cruise at 72 mph yielded 25.4 mpg. By the way the T6 goes like stink. The wife is already looking for Mustangs to put the hurt on. I'll be adding further reviews as the mileage adds up. 400 miles so far.

I loved the car. At first. Then it broke. A lot. Eventually even Volvo gave up and gave me my money back after 15 months. I really did like driving the car when I could. But it was a lemon.
