The style of the 2008 v70 is very attractive for a station wagon and timeless.
My Volvo wagon has been one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. It is been a workhorse, traveling up and down the east coast. I love the style of this car and you do not see that many around. In all the years I have had it, the only big repairs have been replacing the air conditioner fan, a motor mount, tires and batteries.

It is very dependable and very attractive. And it has all the bells and whistles!
I love it's third row seating, it's exterior design, and it's dependability. I also love the upgrades in it, like the heated seats/steering wheel and Bose sounds system.

The expense to service Volvos is very high. Makes ownership tough

Smoothest highway car you'll drive.
This car is a great highway car- very smooth and drives great. I like that it has lots of space. Also, I have been driving it for 11 years and it still runs great. Very dependable, safe, and practical. This vehicle is a great one for pets and kids too!
