• newcartestdrive—Volvo XC70 is an excellent choice for outdoor adventurers. It offers genuine off-pavement capability and it’s very good on unpaved roads. It has lots of room for gear and the cargo compartment is perfectly flat. It offers many advantages over truck-based SUVs, including better fuel economy, better handling, better ride, and for many it’s a more rational alternative. Yet it’s quiet, maneuverable and pleasant for the sort of driving most of us do most of the time.

Buying Tips:
Volvo’s V70 wagon is very similar in appearance and equipment but adopts a sportier tack instead of the rugged styling cues and raised suspension. The V70 doesn’t utilize all-wheel drive and avoids the fuel economy penalty it brings.
