Some of the NSW/ACT members of the XC.com community met at Mittagong in November 2010. The destination: Upper Kangaroo Valley (some 2 hours South of Sydney).
The mission was to find some dirt...

I recently bought an 05 Honda Accord Euro (Acura TSX) and have an 09 build XC70. They are both quality cars. I also have a 91 Toyota Soarer (Lexus SC400). It is also brilliant!
Our XC70 has been...
Looks like it was fun. Too bad, I couldn't come with.
What a gorgeous landscape.
Welcome.
You've seemingly handled these hiccups in good cheer! I would probably have lost it.
Thankfully our '09 XC, which was also my first Volvo after a series of Lexus', has been problem...
Indeed, I am on Soarer Central. Are you?
As for your fine tuning of my picture: [thumbup][thumbup]
As a 3.2 owner, I can describe the engine as adequate. Having recently driven the 2.5 turbo in the previous generation, I feel that the 3.2 is inferior in tractability and smoothness to this much...

When it comes to sand duning, the Volvo XC70 probably doesn't come to mind. As the pictures below show, perhaps it should.
Today's drive commenced in Sydney's leafy lower North Shore. The...
I'm in subject to Wife clearance tonight.
Due to his potential unavailability, I may have to take the "rescue Prado" myself, in lieu of my brother who would otherwise drive it. I will ensure that...

We are completely satisfied with our 09 build XC70. It's fantastic. It has zero issues so far, albeit with only 6000 kms travelled.
However, our car has no high tech options like NAV or radar...
I think Castaway has taken his Rav4 on Stockton on multiple occasions. Additionally, my Father has also taken his RX350.
I've also seen XC70s, Klugers, Allroads, Adventras and Outbacks.
