2004 VOLVO XC70 reviews

Volvo XC70 XC70SE 2004

Good car for Company Director covering all of England and Wales with long commute, country living and two large dogs with luxury of Morgan 4 litre in garage plus third coupe car. I owned two previous Volvo’s in between a BMW X5, Mercedes C class estate, 2 Range Rovers and a Discovery and the XC70 (2004 - 2008). It proved the most practical of the lot. However it was off the pace with chassis development to the point of floating around bends making passengers sick. On motorways and A class roads taking me from my farmhouse near Ludlow to our country holiday home 850 miles away in Southern France; slushing down muddy lanes with me alone driving fine. But I opted for a Q7 when I retired a few months ago since it has the space for the dogs and more modern technology giving a far superior ride and engine. Pity. I liked Volvo’s.
