2005 Volvo XC70 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

From corporate commuter car to weekend warrior's wagon to soccer mom's taxi, the stylish XC70 wears many hats. Its ample space and all-wheel drive capabilities make it truly versatile seven days a week. This Cross Country version of the V70 wagon earned its standing as a prime family car with its many standard safety features. All some people need to know is that it�¢ï¿½?�?s a Volvo �¢ï¿½?�? the company�¢ï¿½?�?s reputation is well founded. But just for the record, the list of protective attributes includes front air bags, side-curtain air bags, door beams, traction control, ABS, and a patented Whiplash Protection System. The AWD wagon is especially popular in the Northwest and Northeast U.S., where it is found in large numbers, for instance, in ski area parking lots. Owners of the 2005 XC70 generally heap compliments onto it for its looks, features, handling, and solid feeling. A few would have liked a bit more horsepower. There were a few complaints about reliability, but the overall vibe was one of smiling satisfaction.
