  V70 first 6 months - 2007 Volvo V70
  By White - March 1 - 11:06 am

  What a nice car! Bought it for safety reputation. Handles well, is comfortable and holds road like its glued. Too much wind noise and low beams cut off too short. Fit and finish is first rate and car is tight, excpept for wind noise. Gets less fuel economy than other mid-sized domestic cars, which was a surprise. Get 21-23 in town and 26-29 in hilly country, so I guess thats not too bad. Guess Im getting old, but it has one tough oil filter for a shade tree mechanic! Plenty speedy with 2.5 turbo. The run flat tires had defective sensors that dealer service did not understand and were impossible to fix. Eventually replaced. I like the car alot!

  All Purpose Fun Vehicle - 2007 Volvo V70
  By Moi - November 12 - 10:06 pm

  Great on the open road and mileage has been great city 25 highway 31 MPG. Handles better than my prior bmw even though it is a station wagon. Great for long trips and needing extra space. Too bad the 2008s are being redesigned and dont hold up against the 2007 V70

  Outstanding Value! - 2007 Volvo V70
  By volvo bill - May 18 - 11:13 am

  Great design for short people; offers plenty of visibility. Bought a luxury package that makes the car very attractive. Wish gas mileage were better, though, but at least it accepts regular gas without harming anything.

  Great gas mileage and a great road trip vehicle for your rides to Grandmas house. The 2.4 L engine does not miss a step. It has more than enough pep to handle everyday driving.

  Well designed family wagon - 2007 Volvo V70
  By Michael - October 29 - 10:23 am

  V2.4L provides enough power for daily use. Ride is quiet and steering provides excellent handling. Excellent suspension. Good combination of engine and automatic transmission. Integrated child booster seat may not be comfortable for long distances since legs touch the edge of the seat. Leather interior will require a protective sheet for the baby seat.

  Solid, safe, comforable Swede - 2007 Volvo V70
  By sjulier - March 11 - 4:32 pm

  Purchased this month with 33,400 miles. 2.4L base engine. I am returning to Volvo after Mercedes and Acura and purchased this car because of the seat comfort, overall safety and solid highway ride. I spend 22,00 miles a year on the highway so comfort is a priority. The seat is sublime, by far the best of any car I have owned, including past Volvos. Speed sensitive steering makes it easy around town, heavy on the highway. Love the classic styling. No anxiety on I-95 in the rain, between trucks. The 2.4L base engine is underpowered, no C240 or TSX for sure. With premium fuel acceleration is acceptable. Frankly, I can see having this car for 300,000 miles.

  Carls Review - 2007 Volvo V70
  By Carl Moore Houston - October 21 - 2:36 am

  I bought a 2007 V70 closeout which came with lots of options as a replacement for my wifes 940 which was totaled in a wreck -- great deal . The car is very comfortable driving and handling. The 2.5T has excellent pickup compared with the older B230F engine. Gas mileage is good -- approx 22 mpg around town.

  Love the XC VOLVO - 2007 Volvo V70
  By MHR26 - August 17 - 8:20 pm

  I bought a similar version in 2001 and drove my Volvo for over 185,000 with no issues other than routine maintenance. The engineering is fantastic, fuel economy is good considering size and weight of the vehicle. Safety is fantastic and overall, best car I have ever bought.

  Stealth - 2007 Volvo V70
  By Otoman - March 19 - 1:50 am

  This has been a fantastic car. Very comfortable for the long haul with outstanding seats, lots of cargo room and best of all, it flies! No one expects that a Volvo wagon can move so quickly. I often have cars trying to pass me on the right/cut me off, etc. I can easily close down any hole in the traffic with this car. Passing/merging is fun. Blitzing down interstate on-ramps is a joy. Clover leaf on-ramps are a treat as well. The upgraded sound system is worth the money. If you want a lot of go with very little show, this is your car.

  We are now Volvo fans - 2007 Volvo V70
  By alphamobile - October 29 - 7:37 am

  Ours is a 07 model and we bought it in 10 with 32K miles. In two years I have put close to 30K miles on it. It being our first Volvo, and first Euro car for that matter of fact, its been a very pleasant car. At first we were feeling iffy about due to our fear about the notorious high cost of maintenance of Euro cars. Fortunately, in two years the only repair expense (not including regular maint.) was $150 to replace the brake vacuum pump. It certainly helps that our local Volvo dealer repair shop has very competitive pricing. The car is quite powerful and handles quite well. Some critics say its not very sporty when compared to BMW. But not everybody needs or really wants a BMW.
