Volvo has sold a wagon with a vertical liftgate since 1953. This is the last, don't let it get away. My 5th Volvo and the best yet. 7K miles on it so far. For a huge wagon, the steering is responsive with good feedback. Breaks are awesome. They have finally eliminated the torque steer, totally, which was present on my 1998 V70XC and worse on my 2007 XC70. the 2007 had terrible wet braking, the 2016 has great wet road brakes. Very quiet, very comfortable, good electronics. Better than 27mpg in mostly highway driving. Next year's 2017 cross country costs 18 thousand dollars more and may not be as good. The 2017 has a hatchback, cutting cargo room, and a 4cyl engine which may not be as smooth, at least, not yet. This 2016 has the tried and true 5 banger. The only downside is that the 6 speed auto is a little reluctant to downshift, you have to mash the throttle a little or shift manually. Oh, and the active safety already prevented a collision for me, accelerating onto a highway, checking the left mirror, did not notice the stopped traffic ahead until the Volvo applied the brakes for me. Thanks, Volvo.

I've had my XC70 for about a month and have just over 1,000 miles on it. So far, I'm loving the vehicle more each time I drive it. This car is simply a pleasure to drive. It's quiet and comfortable on the road. The technology is amazing and very well thought out. Every time I get in, I'm impressed at how the design blends elegance and function. I really feel like this is a special vehicle and I'm at a loss to understand why Volvo is discontinuing it. I'd been considering the XC-70 and the Subaru Outback for the past several years. However, having made the purchase, I'm really glad that I went with the Volvo. Having test drove the Outback I can say that it doesn't come close to the ride my XC-70 provides. Also, the seats in the XC-70 are simply amazing. They're the most comfortable car seats I've ever experienced. Some reviewers complain that the car is sluggish or doesn't handle well, but that's not been my experience. It's not a small car, so it's not as nimble as a sports car might be, but it feels solid on the road and the acceleration seems more than adequate to me.

Except for the fact that this unit must have some infrared sign saying 'Hit Me' in it, I am actually thrilled by the purchase. At 600 miles, before the first installment was due, a deer jumped in front of the car while it traveled 60 MPH. Front airbags deployed and car brought itself to safe stop. Two occupants, including a 93 y.o. man, climbed out unscathed and without post accident issues. Volvo safety operators immediately called the car and summoned police, EMT squad , and fire truck. Out of state repair at Volvo dealership in Syracuse NY was exemplary. Now with 13,000 miles, the car was rear ended by 1 ton pick up truck with dual rear wheels. XC-70 bumper and hitch took brunt of impact. Volvo drove home, but offending pick up was not so lucky. Volvo hitch saved much rear end damage and transferred much of the impact to the colliding vehicle. Dealership service in two different states has been excellent. This is an extremely safe and comfortable vehicle, although I could do without further safety system tests.

Professional review was correct - crossover substitute (in fact, XC70 is titled as a crossover). Super comfortable street-legal tank. Our last XC70 held up to an accident like a tank and this model seems even heavier and more stable.
