took a test drive today, nice car, but could not get more than 28mpg average and at motorway cruising 75mph it went down to 22mpg.

The dealer was adamant that this would be better on a run, but my...

Its been a while since I used to frequent these pages, Ive changed jobs and had quite a few cars since the beloved XC70.

I am once again thinking of getting a Volvo XC, and as I am also thinking...

I just thought I'd say hello again from the non-XC70 drivers seat.

For those of you who dont remember my name (and thats me sometimes) I had a 2001 XC70 for fifty thousand miles (thats about 13...

In reply to 1Lieutenant's questions re reliability:
My XC70 was on the whole a reliable car, never left me stranded, and worst thing to happen was a stuck-open sun rooof (whole cassette replaced...

OK so its not so luxurious as an XC, but she sure is cute!

Three weeks ago, I sold my XC70 with 70k on the speedo!
The car had always been good to me and never let me down, but I just cannot justify the running costs for servicing and not having any...

Might even bring the XC70 !
Live in Kent, so anywhere in south/mids would be OK, need management approval to stay out late or have a sleep-over though

After a tiresom discussion with the service advisor who seemed miffed that someone on the 'outside' even new the word VADIS, they said they woudl be unable to add features as getting the codes was...

Why wait&#33;

Although having a new model is nice from seeing it on the driveway, it sometimes brings new and previously sorted problems, I like to see a new model on the streets for a few months...

The waiting for a new car (for me) is the best bit &#33;

No door dings
No dirt
No depreciation

Just that shiny new car in my mind &#33;

Sounds like a nice choice, drop me a line if you want any...

Its a 90&#33;
Hold on a moment, though, not an XC 90, a LandRover 90&#33;

I took NeuDaddi&#39;s advice and had a long serious look at what I would be gaining bu getting a new car that was not an XC70, and to...

Is it possible to get heated windshields on any of the Volvo range?

Fords (among many others) have been doing this for a while, and dont see it as an option on the XC or any other Volvo range?

Jon,
This is as close to the OSD as we Brits will probably get, and a 15% saving on a vehicle like the XC90 is still worth a bit&#33;

Is this the first car you have imported or are you an old hand...

Are you considering the extended warranty which takes it up to 100k miles or 4 years?

Also does the warranty only cover 60,000Kms ?

In the UK it is 60,000 miles...or 3 years whichever comes...

Jon,

I know its not the same problem, but there have been a number of posts relating to Multi-SIM cards with vodafone un the UK and how you cannot get the change of SIM nominated from the car...

I always wonder about the &#39;merits&#39; of owning a vehicle such as the XC70 when it has no dealer support warranty and more computers than the &#39;one man band&#39; local mechanic (ie non Volvo franchised...

Al,
I too have had transmission/cruise problems.
