"Not quite sure I can put my finger on it, but I've only had the 5 speed 2004, 2.4 and the 2006, 2.4 before this 2007, 2.5 and much prefer them over the 2007. First the gas mileage, then the more glitzy exterior -- neither are my style. But, the 2007, 2.5 has power, lower gas mileage, and more chrome, if that is what you like!"

"I think I might have 'thought' a bit longer on my purchase if I had known the gas mileage was so poor. Im avging 16.8mpg in city driving which is primarily what I do. Other AWD vehicles perform MUCH better,in the area of 20-21mpg. ie subaru,mazda etc The trade off is the car in general is pure CLASS. :D"

"V70 really provides a unique combination of versatility, convenience, and cargo capacity, along with luxurious feel, smooth ride, and restrained good looks. I've owned a 2007 model for several years, and it has been great at handling every possible task - from daily commutes, hauling furniture, bicycles, and kids, to cross-country trips. It has been very reliable. Fuel efficiency is typically around 32 mpg highway, 26 average with city driving. This car is particularly great for winter driving. Traction control, winter transmission mode, and good winter tires make it a virtual snow-mobile. Finally, I believe the 2001 to 2007 model is the best looking of the Volvo wagons. I was a fan of the boxy designs, but the proportions and flow on this model make it really attractive, in my opinion. The direction Volvo went after 2008 lost some of the elegance."

"This is my 4th Volvo, 3rd V70. Replaced high mileage 2001 V70 with exact same car, but 2007 with 100,000 fewer miles. Obviously, was satisfied with previous one, and still am with newer one. Safe, very comfortable, reliable, decent mileage (32 highway average at 65mph, 26 in mixed driving at 34 mph average), great load space. 2007 owned by Ford, which in my opinion cut a few minor corners for cost savings over 2001, before Ford acquisition. Only complaint is some wheel spin with hard acceleration, front end likely not heavy enough due to small engine."

"Purchased 4 months ago, has 95K miles, is our 6th Volvo (since 1982) and second wagon. A 2.4T, replacing a 240 with 250K miles which was still running very well when sold (we highly maintain them). 5 Volvo's are still in the family. The seats are just superbly comfortable and I am tall. The acceleration and cornering is very good. Unfortunately the turning radius is long, which I miss from the early lighter weight Volvo's. I get 20mpg in the city. It is a pleasure to drive this car and I prefer driving it over my XC-90. Do not be afraid to buy with high mileage, Volvo's still drive like new."

"Eighth Volvo ( and 5th wagon) since 1978. I LOVE Volvos...but really miss the boxy 240's This car gets 33mpg on the road 21.5 in city, drives great, beautiful interior....exterios is sort of blah. The only real complaint is the transmission seems to be constantly shifting up or down. BUt then I was used to 3 or 4 speed automatics. I still love a Volvo."

V70R is incredible

"I've put about 65K miles on my V70R and am still amazed at its combination of family comfort plus blistering performance with 300HP and zero torque steer. Handling, braking, and structural integrity are all superb. Only faults are (1) poor 42-ft turning circle necessitated by wide tires (2) ride, on any of the three settings, is hard except on totally smooth roads. Strongly recommend using Michelin Pilot Sport AS tires. They really transform the car."

"Love this car. The inside comfort is outstanding, the acceleration is way above normal for a car this size. I have had it up to 134 mph and there was still some left. On the downside, one has to be carefull when starting from a dead stop not to squeal the front tires. And the steering seems a little torguey but it may just be that I am used to rear whell drive."
