Lovely. Tried to persuade my wife to have one of these instead of her current Outback to no avail.

Lovely seats, nice noise from the 5-pot, nice soft ride.

Great looking car. I have the V70 and had the same problem with door locks, replaced under warranty (Volvo Selekt). They're really great family cars and pretty decent value I think. I'll have a V90 when they've fallen in value a bit.

Oh, and by the way, I've eaten dinner at the Black Bull in Straiton many times. I grew up in a village only a few miles from there.

It's closed now, so go to the Buck Cafe. Superb part of the country!

Plenty of winter driving over the past few weeks. The XC70 has handled it was ease, seriously hard to get this car stuck.

This photo was about 2 miles down a dirt track, with about 3"-4" of fresh snow on top, didn't struggle once. I love this thing.

Nice to see how far the 75 has travelled and nice to see you travelled up Cairn o' Mount. I was brought up in Laurencekirk so we travelled up there quite a bit. I even cycled up it one year which was a real pain but fun on the way down.

My brother owns the previous XC70 and he loves it saying that it does everything he needs in a car. They are lovely things to travel in.
