2009 Volvo V70 Consumer Reviews

Solid transportation. Very comfortable leather seats. Great for road trips and around town. Very good sound system with DVD player, SiriusXM, Am/FM radio. A pleasure to drive. Easy to put down rear seats to expand spacious cargo area. This is one of the best of the many Volvos I’ve owned during the past 50 years.

This is my third Volvo wagon - When it comes to safety and style I feel secure with Volvo .-I went from Florida to South Carolina and bought this car on the internet and drove it home. It was great and have since put 2500 more miles on it. Volvo is a good traveling car just keep good schedule maintenance and it will be good to you.

Purchased used with 31000 miles when it was 2 years old. We have changed the oil/filter and rotated the tires every 5,000 miles. The seats are wonderful and the leather is top quality. The car isn't peppy but it'll get you where you need to go. Handling is average for a full size car: not sporty, but very secure.The rear seats are easy to fold down and there are two built-in child seats. Storage in all four doors and under the rear floor. Lots of electrical toys like auto wipers, HD radio and seats that adjust to the right position for each driver. The only problem was a leaking sunroof and it was fixed for $55. Paint still looks great and I plan to keep this car until it won't run anymore...it's that good.

Smooth ride, great handling and braking. Engine could use more power. Wish it had a manual transmission option. The integrated booster seats in the back are great if you have kids. Very good cargo capacity and is the right size car for practical purposes. Not too small and not too big. Great for cruising on the highway. Been very reliable.

The 2008-10 Volvo V70 is a great choice for the driver who wants a stylish wagon that drives and rides like a European luxury sedan, but does not want the gadgetry that often clutters these sedans. The V70 offers cargo space, build quality, comfort, safety, and reliability that Audi, BMW,and Mercedes wagons struggle to match, even at prices 10-20K higher. On the open road,the V70 is hushed, solidly planted, smooth. Great sense of quality and substance. Reviewers always comment on the beautiful Scandinavian interior with its real leather and real wood trim.

Excellent condition! Four new tires. Black, tan interior, sun roof. Only 1 driver. Has NEVER missed a service. Have all the paper work.

have had a Volvo Station Wagon since 1980 .....that was my first....believe it or not,the next one was a 1997...which I would still be driving today if a stupid person..not even having a drivers license....hit me and totaled it. But that is another story...I kept the 1980 when I bought the 1997..... I drove both of them.....which one depended upon where I was going.... (PS EVERYthing in the 1980 worked great) I would still have and would still drive the 1980...if I had it...however...on a very rainy night..I was only driving about 5mph...in a parking lot...when I tried to stop in time to miss the sort of out of sight sign .....I failed....bumped into it...the front grill just fell off...long story short...it also was totaled Best gas mph...the 1997 ....best ride...the 2008....the interior was the same in all...but 1997 had controls in the console....I didn't like that...the 2008 has them on the drivers door. ......I don't like the "plastic" bumpers on the 2008...the front has been "hit" by crazy people in parking lots...the plastic has just fallen off where it has been hit...I do have the offical Volvo retouch paint and one day...I will get it painted so it looks better. I did discover,when the 1980 and 1997 were involved in accidents...(not the parking lot story but other accidents...in which I was NEVER at fault...just in the wrong place at the wrong time.)...the 'side' bars going down the lenght of the car were not alike...one was wider then the other....I hope and I guess Volvo found a metal for the bar that could be made smaller and still provide superior safety. . ....After that,I bought a 2008....Gosh,only Three cars since 1980.....

Hands down the best car I've ever owned. It drives as if its a much smaller car, but has great leg and headroom in the front and back seats. My spouce is 6'4 and fits comfortably in front and still leaves room for an adult to sit in the back seat. Car handles great in rain or show.
