Hi everyone -- I've got a 2003 XC and a 2004 S80, but my question is for the S80. I apologize for the cross, but the "Other Cars" Category seems to be unpopulated (two posts this month).

I've been monekying with it and it's pretty intuitive, but it'll be sure nice not to spend $20! Many many thanks.
Hi everyone -- I just picked up my 4th Volvo last night -- a silver/black 2004 S80 AWD with 37K and NAV. Couldn't be more excited.
The one problem? No manual for the NAV system and the dealer...
Hi everyone -- I tried searching this (maybe not hard enough, but didn't see it anywhere else, so I'll ask) -- anyone have problems with their 12 volt plug producing power? I saw where people have...
Hi -- on Mothers day this year I was in an accident of my own fault. I was nosing out of traffic without looking around the car to my left, and I side swiped a Ford Escape.
A few things:

Hi -- just to add the the debate -- just got back from the local NTB. The guy said he gets tons of XC-70 owners in, all dissatisfied with their OEM Pirelli Scorps. He recommended the BFG Traction...
I've seen nothing but digs about it since I joined this group last year. Consumer Reports agrees, btw, finding a lot of problems with it.
I'd buy the latest model you can.
BTW -- I've been...
...until I sat in it and drove it.
Size: I can't imagine fitting my family of 5+dog in it for 6 hours to the beach. (We just took our '03 XC down to the NC beaches and it was a pleasure) I...
This is my 3rd Volvo and I feel like I could run it on candlewax and not get knock in it.
When first out of school I drove an 81 Toyota Corolla -- the kind that still said "Use Unleaded Gas...
I bought mine here --

$379, plus a 20% discount for joing their club. I think it cost me $399 with shipping. And of course, no tax.
And I...
Have you seen the latest issue of CR? It kills the XC-70 in terms of reliability, esp. the 2003.
Last year, it rated the 2001 worse than average, the 2002 average, and the 2003 and 2004 above...
Hi -- just to anser the question a few posts back. We use our 3rd row all the time. When?
Carpools. We carpool with two neighbors to take our 7 year old to school. We've got a permanent baby...
Don't even try to install that thing on your own. We had it dropped in our 2003 XC and I can't imagine getting it done nearly as well as the dealer did. It was totally worth the $400 in labor to...
Hi Lowell -- I'm in McLean, Va as well. Assume you're buying from DBV? I bought a 2003 XC70 there in November -- I paid 27,250 with 19K miles. It had everything, plus built in booster seats. It...
Adam C and LWW -- I've got two little kids at home and REALLY carefuly monitor the amount of TV they watch. I honestly think most shows are fine to just OK, but the killer are the commercials. ...
thanks everyone -- it's tips like lining up the box with the sunroof that are lifesaves. I have a feeling that's been learned only through bad experiences!
Thanks so much for this great advice -- really helpful.
I think I might need both a box and the barrier. Any recommendations on the a brand of barrier?

Hi everyone -- I'm looking for advice on purchasing a roof box system for my 03 XC. With a third kid on the way and a dog, we've run out of space to put stuff for long trips, and I realize now is...
I've read some comparisons here between Volvo and Subaru. There's one area that I believe subaru falls down to Volvo and many other cars -- safety. I know what the crash tests tell you -- they're...
The sound is stellar, just as long as you keep the volume moderate...

I'm pretty handy and I was totally intimidated by installing the 3rd seat. Plus, it involves installing seat belts -- do you really want to save a few hundred bucks and gamble you got your kids'...
We bought our 2003 from Don Beyer and couldn't have been happier. The thing that DB does that's super is no haggle price. That's the price and if you don't like it, you don't have to buy the car. ...
I have the iTrip ( http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip/ ) and it really is a neat product. If fits right on top of the ipod. You tune your radio to 89.7 and voila, you've got music. No...
This is my third 850 model and newer, and I never realized there was a difference in brightness betweeen DRL and regular! I always leave the DRL on and NEVER use the regular.
This group has...
Thanks everyone! The politness factor of this car is unreal!
