Used 2009 Volvo XC70 Wagon Consumer Reviews
In Love with it!
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!

Outstanding
Just about perfect in every way. Looks good, drives like a luxury car, lots of power, quite, and large. well thought out vehicle.
Solid like always
Very nice car overall - the T6 is a wonderful engine. The car is very solidly built, very comfortable, quite, upscale in interior material. Also I really love the fact that Volvos are a class by themselves - not the common snob badge that is Mercedes and BMW that people buy to satisfy their egos and that every Tom, Dick and Harry has. Good car all around - and this is from someone who actually owes it.
Nice hauler and 21 mpg!
We bought a demo T6 (4600 miles) to replace our well-used '98 XC (145,000 mi). After shopping the Audi A6, BMW 530xi and Passat 4Motion, we came back to the Volvo due to its edge on cargo size (and utility) and our previous experience with the XC in the snow. We drive the Colo. mountains every weekend in the winter and the Volvo (with snows) is impossible to beat: goes where you point it and stops when you want it to -- inspires a great deal of confidence in bad conditions. The reviews I read about the car's mileage gave me pause, but I'm happy to report that we're getting 21 mpg in mixed driving (with a cargo pod always on the roof). (Same mpg more or less as the smaller 98 XC)
