Well engineered automobile.

WE ARE IMPRESSED WITH THE COMFORT, RELIABILITY, AND THE GREAT SERVICE. It also has lasting design, that does not look out of date in three or four years.

Just love everything about this car

When we heard that Volvo was ending this model we decided that we wanted to acquire one. We'd been fortunate enough to have been driving Volvos AWD wagons since 2001; this being our third xc70. There's just no other brand we've owned previously or additionally that has been as solidly built, dependable, comfortable, versatile and plain enjoyable as these cars. Our 2001 is still a daily driver with just under 198k miles.

My XC70 Safe, dependable, excellent visibility

The XC70 station wagon design provides excellent visibility. Volvo should have kept it in its lineup. The interior quality is excellent and the technology is intuitively user friendly. The safety features on this car make driving it reassuring and fun.

I love driving Volvo

This is my second XC70. I wish it had the powerful 6cylindar engine of my 2009 Volvo. I am also wishing it had the quiet ride of the 2009 XC70. The highway noise at freeway speeds makes conversation more difficult. I love all the safety features and beautiful leather interior. It seems that the 2016 is not as well put together as the 2009 model.

2nd XC 70 Love the car

Great car. When it came time to replace my previous XC70 I did not want to do business with the local dealer, but the car is so great that took a chance again.

Awesome car

This car is very versatile, it's comfortable and rugged, yet elegant enough for an evening on the town. It is great in snow and is able to go off road or on a long road trip.

Continued reliabilty and comfort

The car meets all of my needs. I have a back issue the seats are designed to provide comfort during driving any distance. The ride is smooth and the care has great power and responsiveness while providing a luxury ride. This is my third volvo and they continue to be reliable with minimal repairs. Typically repairs required for the mileage of the vehicle.

Very comfortable and handy in all situations

The seats are very comfortable. It drives like a sedan, but has SUV ground clearance making rough roads easy to drive on without sacrificing handling. The ride is also comfortable and quiet. The cargo space is bigger than it appears and comes in handy.

My Third Cross Country

My first XC was a 2004 V70 XC...sold it to a friend when it had a 140K miles. He still has it and it just surpassed 300K miles. My 2015 XC70 does everything well. It's comfortable. It's reliable. The turbo boosts power without lag. It's a great highway car. The technology is amazing without being overpowering.
