Used 2010 Volvo XC70 Consumer Reviews
Outstanding
Just about perfect in every way. Looks good, drives like a luxury car, lots of power, quite, and large. well thought out vehicle.
Great so far!
This is a solid, well built car. The fit and finish is excellent. Considered a new 2010 Outback, but the Volvo won the day. Better financing, better trade in offer and more features and interior space. More comfortable interior, nicer design. True, it's not as sporty a ride as the Subaru, but it still feels pretty solid. Engine is a little underpowered for the size of the car but seems to run better with higher octane fuel.
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)
Don't Buy a Volvo
I have had several volvo cars and this one is by far the worst _ most problems. The battery needed to be replaced at just under 50,000 miles. The car is currently at the dealer _ it just died in a parking lot and the AC and Lights would not turn off plus I kept getting all types of weird messages on the car. Called the dealer and they said not sure what is wrong and may be battery _ if so it means it only lasted 30,000 miles. Had to have the car towed and when I left the dealer they could not tell me when it would be looked at and the lights were still on and the key was stuck in the car and I would bet money that if I drove past there today the key would still be stuck and the lights if any life left in the car would still be on.
