Volvo has some of the best safety ratings of all cars.
It is old so there are lots of costly repairs these days. It drives well, the pickup is awesome, it is extremely comfortable. Gas mileage is decent. It has an 18 gallon gas tank. It also will last you a very long time. It is a very good commuter vehicle, have you seen that safety rating..

Safety. The safety aspect of the vehicle is what sold me in the car.
I bought my Volvo new is 2004. I love the room in my car. It is a v70 which is a station wagon. It has leather interior and is very comfortable. I never had any major problems with it until about four months ago. First I had to replace the radiator and fan. ($800) next, spark plugs and a mixture of a lot of other things. ($2300) next, the power steering column ($1400) I bought this car originally because it is considered the safest car around. It only has 176, 000 miles on it but I am finished spending anymore major money on it.

Over 300,000 miles and it still runs smoothly like it did when we first had it.
The 2004 Volvo V70 is one of the best cars I've ever owned. It's extremely reliable, giving us over 300 thousand miles so far. It's a great family car with great trunk space. We plan on keeping this until it literally can't drive anymore. The hope is to get over 500,000 miles:

My Volvo is reliable. The Volvo brand is known for making cars that are long lasting.
Volvo is a timeless, long lasting brand. I love having a hatchback. I am able to haul more than expected in the trunk. My family rides comfortably.

Excellent car and extremely reliable!
My Volvo is a safe and reliable vehicle. Because it is an older model there are some problems such as a gas smell after filling tank, the car shutters at times and the radio isn't that great! It's a turbo model so speed is not a problem as well as comfortable leather seats. I love owning a Volvo!!

Safty and speed
I've never owned a volvo but I love my xc70. Taking it in for recall on fuel pump leaking but wouldn't get rid of my baby

My car is extremely dependable and runs very well.
I love that my car is dependable and safe. The only thing I don't like is that the headlights and brake lights seem to burn out quicker than other vehicles I have had in the past.

The battery goes in the back
Automatic braking is a little weird. Other than that great space and runs beautifully. 156,x*x miles

It is ranked VERY high in the safety category.
I love the safety rating that it has. I also like the room that is available when the seats are folded down. The dislike is that it is a hard to service and parts are expensive.
accountCircle Wendy B
It's safety ratings are very high so it would make for a great family car
I love the dependability of it. I wish it was a newer model.

The car is roomy, feels safe and rides the same for the past 12 yrs, since we bought it.
Comfortable, feel safe driving. Hate that replacement keys cost $500. Would like similar car as an EV.

Very reliable, uses premium gas but the mileage is good, has good road handling, good for my family.
