I average 1000-1500 miles a week on my cars in the PA , Philly metro area . I am happy with my 2010 XC70. I had a S40 and drove it like an older Volvo and it just couldn’t handle the everyday abuse of American roads . The XC70 drives better than the older Volvos and is unruffled by potholes and crappy traffic . The inline six is fine and has plenty of power for highway passing and enough low end torque to motor smoothly loaded . I haven’t had to punch it or downshift to get up hills or merge in mild traffic . I’m averaging mid to low twenties MPG and didn’t expect better . It’s still a car and not an SUV and is easy to drive 8-12 hours a day . I use the Lucas fuel and oil treatments and I think they clean and smooth out the engine . Mine cost 8k with 121k miles . So far all it needs is tires and to be driven like the workhorse it is .

Car was loaded with everything but parking sensors and power liftgate, A cream puff 2010 with 16,000 miles , a day at war with sales staff and a final offer 2 days later I got it for 26 grand. That's one heck of a distance from the 43,000 it stickered for 2 years ago. Car is tight, room for my stuff, quite , has all the power I need and with no turbo takes regular fuel. I can go over 400 mile per tankful . I would have bought an Outback new at 32 grand, but this Volvo is more car. However keep in mind it takes one heck of a hit in its first 2 years. Mileage is what they claim , but hey if you drive a Volvo , you can afford it, right, of course right.
Great car

This is the 4th Volvo I have owned and the first AWD. Since I do a lot of winter/mountain driving this made sense and roads I would have never made it up without chains, this car handeled like the roads were dry. Only two minor suggestions. The instrument panel doesn't show engine temp and the drivers side windshield wiper won't clear the hood and stay up when I want to clean the glass. Maybe in the 2011 model they can fix this. Otherwise I'm very happy.
I like this car

It has 70,000 miles on it. Otherwise it is great. It is perfect for sports (kayaking, hiking, skiing, biking). And for family and carrying stuff and it is very peppy. Good in even deep snow.

Great Compromise

Replaced Volvo S60 T5 (250 hp) and Lexus LX-450 (inline 6 at 218 hp) with 2010 XC70 T6. Key features: rear seat that folds into flat floor for transporting dogs, driver's seat I can sit in for an hour without my back hurting (sadly the reason I couldn't go with Audi), acceptable performance with 281 hp engine, nice mix of luxury features like highway manners at 90 mph. Delivered on all of the above at what seemed like a very competitive price compared with functionally equivalent vehicles from other manufacturers. Biggest drawback is having to refill gas tank so frequently.
