If I had ever thought I would have a 'dream ' car then the Volvo XC70 is it.
My Volvo is the greatest car I have ever owned. The seat fits my body exactly. I really love the fact that even though it is a manual drive, if I need the speed and acceleration then I can shift gears also. At lunch, when the weather is pleasant, with a little breeze, I lay in the back and read a book and sometimes even take a power nap. I have thought about we could go camping in it.

It's extremely reliable and safe. It's a family car.
I love its reliability. It's a very safe car. Dislike the maintenance it requires.

I love that my vehicle is large, but it does not feel bulky!
I love my Volvo, and have driven one since I first got my license. The car is very safe, and it drives well in the snow, which is important in an area that gets a lot of snowfall. It was also the car I learned how to drive in, and it was an ideal learning scenario because of how straightforward the car is to operate. It is a comfortable car that I have taken to move to college every year, and it has never let me down. Repairs and maintenance for the car are usually affordable, and I am very happy with my car.

Comfortable, reliable vehicles for people who are in it for the long haul.
I really love my vehicle. It is safe, comfortable, easy to drive, and reliable. It also has a lot of storage, and we chose it partly for that reason because we used to have a truck. You can fit a whole piece of plywood in the back, and that is not even counting what you can do with a roof rack! I have read that it is one of the safest cars out there and also that Volvos have relatively good resale value, according to Kelly blue book. A couple things, one is that apparently there is a malfunction that is a known problem and some are eligible for a catalytic converter recall. Also, there is a weird issue with the windows where sometimes when we are rolling them up they go up and down again. The moon roof also leaks a little bit.

It's solidly built, has a fair amount of space but isn't too big. Can use it as a family car, to run errands, and pull a camper.
The Volvo is versatile, reliable, and handles well. A great family car!

Smooth ride and plenty of space.
Great gas mileage, nice to have seat warmers. The rise itself is smooth, especially in bad weather (I.E. Snow, rain), lots of space to have things in the backseat/trunk, allows for other passengers, it has a sunroof, there is no electric starter, its seems to jump sometimes when I pick up speed and it needs to adjust to another gear.

An excellent vehicle overall!
Very comfortable, reliable, and long-lasting. The exterior also looks great despite its age and the New England winters. An excellent cargo car with enough room for 2 adult-sized bicycles in the rear interior with the back seats folded down. We chose the black color as it shines well after a wash. The engine, heat, and air conditioning have worked well with the recommended periodic maintenance. An excellent car for winter driving conditions. It sits higher than a sedan and has more clearance for snow and ice. All wheel drive provides excellent traction with all season tires. For skiers, the standard roof rack allows for ski holders to be mounted and locked securely. We wish Volvo continued to make them, but this model was discontinued in 2016.

It's safe, and sturdy and easy to drive. I can easily detect the other cars around me.
It has lots of features, it's safe, it's comfortable no can Carry the things I need to transport . I do wish the gas mileage was a little better.

Answer: The 2010 Volvo XC70 comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Since it uses a timing chain, it usually will not need to be replaced unlike the belt which needs to get replaced every 60,000...
