I love my "pod" easy to see with out having to hunt for info I use most.
2010 3.2 awd highway 25-28mpg still breaking in car--have 3,000miles on it. Not enough mixed driving to get that but on 5 miles trips in city (lots of stop and go) no highway about 17mpg.
Wow! Sounds and looks like the Volvo has found a "loving" owner.
I use the empty space to hold my I Phone & sun glasses --I really like the pod so I can quickly read functions and not have to search a large screen--but,, I can see why some would like it to go...
According to Volvo FDC the pod is going away in week 48--
If you are not getting R design and like the looks of fog lights--get 2010--not much change in models otherwise
Have XC60 3.2 awd only have driven it in Sweden--still waiting for it to arrive but with over 900 miles of mostly country type driving--got 25.6mpg average. Not a lot of stop and go driving.
Yes! With 3.2 engine will also give good gas mileage.
My 2004 has DSTC but was an extra I was able to add due to Sweden pickup--US cars wern't ordered with the option at that time
Good luck and happy driving with your new car. I have heard horror stories about all makes of cars and dealerships---I, hovever, have my 3rd Volvo from Putnam Volvo in Burlilngame, Ca and cannot...

Went to the XC90 test drive event prior to XC90 release--liked it but felt it was too high for easy access and they had all Volvo models to look at and we saw the XC70 and new it was for us. Our...
Also had "fix" and "flare" gone ---merv
Thanks for the info---merv
Problems I've had have been so minor can't remember them but dealer handled every one quickly. Having toured that Volvo plant in 2004 and seeing that a Volvo comes off line every minute--I am amazed...
I never buy a car based upon resale--my choice is 1. car, 2. options, 3 money!!!---why buy a car based on what future oweners want--get the most of what you want and can afford and then ENJOY!!!
Looks good to me!!!
Your post is why this forum is so outstanding---people are respectful and caring--MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!
Volvo factory shuts down completely in July for switchover to new model year. My OSD return shipment to the USA took more than 2 months since I dropped the car off at the factory in July and my car...
Glad you posted a "head-up" to look at report---WOW!!!! Great report.
Buying OSD, you can sometimes add options otherwise only available in packages and options that local dealers do not order on their cars for the USA.
I have A 2004 BUT HAD ORDERED A 2003------THE 2003 MODEL YEAR WAS EXTREMELY SHORT AND 2004 EXTRA LONG---I DID GET THE XEON LIGHTS (WHICH I LIKE AND OTHERS HATE ) BUT I RATHER DOUBT ANY MAJOR...
2004 "is what it is" and it is a great car--no car is every going to be perfect and we eventually adapt to minor problems and even forget about them--thanks for trying for us and researching...
Car sound great---you did "GOOD"!!!!
