  Nice hauler and 21 mpg! - 2009 Volvo XC70
  By Pete in Golden - December 1 - 7:53 am

  We bought a demo T6 (4600 miles) to replace our well-used 98 XC (145,000 mi). After shopping the Audi A6, BMW 530xi and Passat 4Motion, we came back to the Volvo due to its edge on cargo size (and utility) and our previous experience with the XC in the snow. We drive the Colo. mountains every weekend in the winter and the Volvo (with snows) is impossible to beat: goes where you point it and stops when you want it to -- inspires a great deal of confidence in bad conditions. The reviews I read about the cars mileage gave me pause, but Im happy to report that were getting 21 mpg in mixed driving (with a cargo pod always on the roof). (Same mpg more or less as the smaller 98 XC)

  Great XC again - 2009 Volvo XC70
  By Art Faul - September 27 - 11:43 am

  This is my fourth XC70 -- I current;y own one in the US and lease another in Europe. I have previously owned a 1999 (which had problems) and a 2001 XC70 which I picked up in Sweden on Volvos Tourist program. Contrary to the other review here, I am delighted with my new XC70. It is a solid comfortable ride. I did change the tires from the Continentals it came with to Bridgestones. Its a great addition to the lineup.. I do wish it had the Four C suspension. I got misled by the dealer about that.
