  Good solid car. - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By donco6 - June 28 - 2:06 pm

  Ive had my Volvo XC70 for a year now and have had absolutely no problems. Its taken me up into the mountains many times - solid on snow packed and/or icy roads. All the features are convenient. Seat warmers are great! Lots of cargo room. Great car!

  The Wagon of Choice!! - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By Gaith_XC70 - December 1 - 7:43 pm

  After carefully researching all the other similar vehicles, we picked the XC70, with the premium and climate packages. Other makes came with more options for less money. But..a volvo is a volvo...is a volvo - it is all about safety. Most of all we love the feel of the solid construction. My wife surprised me by actually liking the feel of this car. When compared to an Accord, it has a slightly ponderous feel, but it is easy to get used to. Also the room...other AWD wagons in this class simply do not have the same roominess.

  Total Package - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By HuskyMom - February 13 - 1:46 pm

  This is the total package vehicle. Volvo did their homework and produced a winner. I purchased this vehicle for my show dogs. With all the extras that are available, my dogs will be as safe as I am. I feel very confident and safe while driving or riding in this vehicle.

  Great for an outdoorsy on-the-go family! - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By oregonmom - December 25 - 12:00 am

  Weve owned our XC70 for four years and hope to keep it forever. We take many road trips - mountains, coasts, 1000+ mile trips, and its been wonderful. We havent had any problems at all. We do our regular oil changes and maintenance and it just goes anywhere we wish to take it! Today - at around 41K miles - we are shopping around for our first new set of tires. The Pirellis that came with the car were OK, but were going to put some Michelins on to see how we like those better. The kids get carsick in other vehicles, but have never had a problem in the XC70. We also camp quite a bit and are able to fit everything for a family of four into the back. Were very happy with our Volvo!

  The Car for all Seasons - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By tjstew - April 18 - 5:16 am

  We love this vehicle. It is an outstanding vehicle for people who want complete versatility, luxury, and european driving qualities without having to climb up into a high SUV. It has absolutely the best seats in the industry. We haul childrens families, grandchildren, greatgrandmothers (who cannot climb into a higher vehicle), and friends. We haul construction materials for projects on a home in vermont- all with the confidence of Volvo safety, reliability and very good mileage. With the rooftop carrier we have as much capacity as a large SUV.

  Best All Around! - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By R2D2 - January 9 - 11:10 pm

  From a stand-still, this car is a rocket, reminding me of the old "Tiger Paws" tire commercials. I can feel the grrrip when I am off-road pulling my pop-up camper, or in heavy rains...

  OneFineCar - 2006 Volvo XC70
  By AlecZander - February 19 - 2:50 pm

  This vehicle gives my rather hesitant and extremely cautious wife a confidence in driving she has found in no other. Much better than the Jaguar Sportwagon. This is a very well thought out car. It is happy in all driving conditions. We expect to keep it for ten years or more! It is a mid-size car, and one should not expect the roominess, particularly in the back seat, of a similarly priced luxury sedan.
