1999 Volvo V70 Reviews
| “1999 Volvo V70 Xc” Reviewing:
1999 Used Volvo V70 4 Dr XC Turbo AWD Wagon
Performance is not too impressive, but a nice muscular feel with the turbo. The combined lag from the AWD and the turbo can get a bit frustrating. Handling is decent, brakes are decent. But be warned: Its a heavy car, and it shows in both areas. Superb bad weather car. Build quality is typical Volvo: Outstanding. Appearances are pretty modest, but I rather like it. Repairs can be a bit costly, and gas mileage is in the low 20s. Fun factor: 5/10
Pros —
Excellent in bad weather, good build quality, comfortable
Cons —
Too much turbo lag, its a bit heavy, and repairs are very expensive.

1999 Used Volvo V70 4 Dr STD Wagon
This is my seventh volvo, only one died of natural causes (a '69, 142 with 348,000 miles) pulling a trailer from Florida to New England.
Pros —
Built well, last long...
Cons —
You need to be mechanically inclined, because most places charge a lot for labor.
