Reviewed a 1999 Volvo XC Turbo AWD on Sep 3, 2011

This car thinks it's a tank. Sturdy frame has absorbed collisions from front and back with little damage. Other vehicles towed away while the Volvo drives off. Handles well on both dry and wet roads. Loves to play in the snow. Quirky electronics required far too many new bulbs and fuses when first bought. Transmission replaced before car reached 75,000 miles. Had much better results with an independent mechanic rather than the local dealership.

with 265bhp it pulls fairly well for a big estate 150mph with not much hassle the handling is very good for such a large car as it has an independant rear end that i dont think the 2wd has. the build quality is very solid and i cant fault it. the only down side is the price of some of the parts and the fact the tyre wear has to be within 2mm front to back oh and not to mention an average of 21mpg! i never thought i would buy a volvo as i always thoought of them as old man cars but as i needed 7 seats i dont have many options other than 4x4's and people carriers so bought this just for the sake of it and if im honest i am converted! i would deffo consider another volvo!
