So, I've been thinking about the next car to get after the odyssey. I really like the XC70, but my mom isn't thrilled with the mpg. All five of us fit in the xc70 pretty good. But because my mom didn't like the mpg number she wants to look at the xc60, would me and my two brothers fit in the back? We can all fit in our leaf pretty decently.

That's when you told her that only punk ass bitches give a damn about MPGs and that it was time for her to MAN UP TO THE VOLVO WAGON, RIGHT?!

Actually, I'm hoping you didn't do this. I did it and...well, it's not wise to do if you don't have some moving expenses saved up.

No, we haven't done anything. But it would be a pre facelift xc60. A 2010 can be had for around 25k ish.

2015 Volvos and up will feature the new Drive-E engines (4 cyl) 240hp and 37MPG

My mom has an XC60. The back seat is quite cramped. Then again I am 6'9".

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Alex B

Yeah, probably. We're likely getting an XC70 to replace our Flex within a year, they're great cars. The XC60 is smaller, but still an excellent choice.

Yes. I did know this. I have a question about the 2010 and under xc60&70. Ate they reliable?

#twinning. Would you buy your xc70 new?

Offlease/CPO most likely. It's a better deal.

like every used car, I depends on the previous owner for the most part. Let's say it was very well taken care of, I could tell you some things that are common with this car. But at the end of the day, those things might or might not happen to the one you guys purchase. Of of that mini list, the vehicle might experience none or all. It is way too random but if you want, I can tell you about some common thing those cars go through.

That's probably what my family would do too if we were to go the volvo route.

it sure makes finding the right car for my mom or myself a real pain in the ass.

As someone who has to cram in the back of my mom's Vue with 2 other people sometimes, it ain't too fun. The XC60 is damn near the same size in the back as the Vue, so it's gonna be cramped for 3 people. Even worse is if there's a drive-shaft hump on the floor.

Really, you guys sound like you need 3 rows.

My mom replaced her lemon Flex with an XC60. Is your Flex giving you trouble?

Not at all, but it has over 120k miles on the clock, and it's getting to be time for a new car.
