    This is a truly great vehicle for my needs. I bought the car mostly for safety as we just started a family. But I also prefer the wagon to an SUV.This is a truly great vehicle for my needs.

    My 2004 replaces a 203 that was totaled in an accident...the car was broadsided on the drivers side by a truck. The car SAVED my life. The safety features in this Volvo cannot be topped. Had I been driving a smaller, lighter weight car without side impact airbags I would not be here writing this to you today.

  • Lake Tahoe Loves the Cross Country - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    Our Cross Country has been a true joy. There hasnt been one thing thats gone wrong or thats needed fixing. Our kids love the 3rd row seating and I love to drive! I had to drive 60 miles in 12 inch deep snow and it handled it with ease! My daughter slept through it all. Well done!

  • Best car I have ever owned! - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    I have always loved the way the XC70 has looked. Even now that I have owned it for about 10 years it still looks new. Yes I have taken care of the paint and plastic on the exterior. Yes I have tried to take care of the inside to. Yet I lived for three years where it got to 40 degrees below zero. The paint... Looks like new. Other than a few dings and scratches it looks great. The interior looks great except for the driver seat. I tried to take care of it with regular cleaning and conditioning but the leather cracked and now has holes in it. But other than that it survived the brutile winters. The all wheel drive is second to none. Made it to placeses even jeeps could not go. Great vehicle.

  • All in the family - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    This is our first Volvo although other family members have over 100,000 miles on their Volvos. Weve had the car for almost one month and so far so good. I have a long commute everyday and I like getting into this car and crusing home after 12 hours on campus. Theres a nice safe secure feeling when youre inside the car. Its also one of the most recognizable cars on the road.

  • XC70 Fun to Drive - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    I recently gave in and bought the car that I have always admired from afar....the Volvo XC 70. I can say without a doubt buying this car was the best car-buying decision I have ever made, I could not possibly be any more happier. Volvo thought of everything when they designed this vehicle from safety, comfort, and pure driving pleasure! I will definitely be a Volvo driver for life....

  • OSD and a great car - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    First: be sure and buy your Volvo through their Over Seas Delivery program, you save $, they treat you like royality and you end up with a FANTASTIC car ! I love my XC, summer was great, now in the snow the AWD is wonderful, I feel so safe ! The seats are the most comfortable in the world. To me this car is a luxary car in the front and a very practical wagon in the back. The fit, finish, design, quality are all first rate. The only minor negatives I have so far are the Xenon lights (too dim) and the lack of USA 7 pin wiring for your trailer towing. Mileage could be better.

  • A True Joy - 2004 Volvo XC70

    This is Volvos best wagon ever. There is no road noice at all, it handles exceptionally well, and all the instruments are easy to see. The wagon is beautiful to look at and has a fabulous sound system. I cant say enough good things about this car.

  • Our second XC - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    My wife bought a new Cross Country in 1999, it now has 67,000 miles on it. I liked it so much I bought a new one in 2001, which now has 38,000 miles. Initial purchase price on these cars was more than we were used to paying for a car. However, they are absolutely the best cars we have ever owned. No problems whatsoever. I believe that they are a bargain. Factoring in safety, comfort, performance and build quality, there is nothing else made that comes close. We have taken 4 trips to Florida, 3000 miles round trip each time. These cars are excellent long distance cruisers.

  • Love my V70 XC - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    This is the third Volvo that we have owned and is by far the favorite of all three. I dont think I will ever buy anything else but a Volvo, if for nothing else the safety features. I drive a very crazy, interstate highway everyday and its nice to know that should I be involved in a serious accident, there is a high probability that I will survive it. Although not a "luxury car" there are enough really nice features on the V70XC to make it comfortable and a dream to drive. I average around 22 mpg and use ONLY 93 octane fuel. So far, we have experienced absolutley no problems with this car and couldnt be happier with our purchase. 5 stars for Volvo!
