I still dont know why so many people love the XC70(besdies being safe). To me its easily the ugliest car in its lineup and such a horrible drive.

it gets the job done and for the price there isn't a better choice.

the All Road is much more expensive, the Ford Freestyle is too slow and nobody wants to pay big $$$ for a Ford-badged Volvo.

I personally never liked the XC idea, I don't even like the P2 (S/V 60/70) exterior, I think its bloody hideous, but it does drive very damn well for its price.

Yeah, all understandable reasons and I see why some people like it , but damn, they sell sooo many of them. I guess personally just never appealed to me at all. I used to say just get the V70 AWD, but they discontinued it here in the states last year.

Personally I dont like the way it drives. Honestly like the way the XC90 drives more. Even though it doesnt have many direct competitors, to me 42K with most popular options is way to much for the XC70. I cant justify spending that much for this car.

Dodge wins the worst-interior-of-the-bunch category. Hands down. And eyes closed, for that matter.
