First, I come from a long line of Toyota 4-Runners so this was a big change. This car is very comfortable (lots of adjustment options). The front cabin is roomy. Mine is red with ivory interior. The paint still looks brand new when washed. As some have mentioned, acceleration can be sluggish but when I punch the gas level to pass, I am able to. This car is 11 years old and I have only had 1 problem. The battery went dead bc the computer was constantly searching for something it never found. Although I would say this is definitely a defect, the Volvo dealership charged me $400 for a software update which took care of the problem. I should not have had to pay for that which is why I took a star off. (I think they should have also replaced the battery for a discount as well.) Things I love about this car: my big moonroof (never leaks), auto seats on both sides, auto trunk release, interior and exterior styling, loads of airbags that I have never had to deploy because of the great ABS system, has a keyless start, great error info. The system shows me exactly what's wrong, still get 24 MPG, side mirrors fold in when the ignition is turned off, and it has heated seats that warm up quickly. The body style is timeless. Also, it has excellent cargo space. Things I tolerate: the HVAC system is only fair bc it takes a little longer to get cool or warm, lackluster acceleration, and system menus are not straightforward but I have them all memorized after owning it this long. I would both buy this again and recommend this year and model to anyone who wants a reliable vehicle.

High Performance Turbo enhances MPG and Smiles Per Mile. Volvo's 2011 T6 engine makes it fun, fast and efficient.

XC70 t6 is a great looking solid vehicle... I test drove a 2012 t6 with 70K miles for about 40 minutes in city and highway... The MPG are not great but the power is smooth and it is a 4100 pound solid vehicle that you will hopefully be safe in. The seats and interior and features are fantastic better than a BMW, Audi, or MB. At this point it is either a MB wagon, XC70 t6, Subaru Out Back... I wont get a BMW wagon because of the RFT. I just don't see a utility vehicle or people mover not having a spare tire... The MB no off road... So its going to be an t6 or an Out Back. I would recommend a XC70 t6 it a very solid machine...
Solid, Smooth and very powerful

This is my second xc70 after trading up from a 2006 model. The new T6 model is so much better than the previous model. The engine is terrific and the comfort and ride quality are much improved. Gas mileage is about the same as the old turbo 5 cyl. (avg. 19.6 so far on reg. fuel; but car only has 500 miles on it and is not broken in yet). The premium stereo is terrific and the streaming bluetooth works great. The overall feeling of the car is very refined and is a great car for someone with young kids. Cargo space is obviously excellent as well. Very happy with my new car and looking forward to the first road trip!
The best driving and comfortable

Fabulous vehicle decided to stay with Volvo rather than a 7 series BMW. More reliable, economical and all around better car in my opinion.
