We've had a 2011 XC70 since new. Replaced 3 inside rearview mirrors under warranty within the first few years, for the exact problem you describe. The last replacement was a different design,...

I just had my 2011 XC70 3.2FWD serviced at an independant shop, and no one can figure out how to reset the "book time for maintenance" vehicle message and light.

Thank you for all the comments. I appreciate the feedback.

My wife and I have decided to keep our 2011 model with 3.2 and FWD. It's been completely reliable, and we hope to enjoy it for many more...

Thank you! We did ask about trade-in, and it will be far more than just a down payment. Interest rates are quite low (1.9% for 60 months), so we can borrow cheap money.

Any input on the 2.5L vs...

We have a 2011 XC70 3.2L FWD that we bought new and love! We've kept the mileage low (35,000) and the car has been completely reliable.

I have a 2011 XC70 3.2 with FWD. The factory Continental 4x4 Contact tires were down to the tread wear indicators at 20,000 miles, even with proper rotation. I found it difficult to find...

Good to know. We'll pass on this one, and look for something else.

Found a very low mileage 2003 XC90 T6 AWD for sale for $17000. Under 50K miles.

Thank you! I appreciate your advice.

Did you have the dealer install the hitch, or aftermarket?

We have a 2011 XC70 3.2 FWD. Volvo claims a tow rating of 3300 lbs, and we are considering adding a tow hitch to the car for occasional towing duty.

Does anyone use their XC70 as a tow car? We...
