That's the car my wife wants...When she worked at Costco, they had one parked inside for a month, and she saw it everyday. It looks really nice.

Expensive to maintain. Struts are $400 ea. and they then have to be calibrated by a tech (dealer?) with Volvo's "4C" aka active chassis system. That's another few hundo.

Yet another demanding foreign mistress.

IMO, sounds like it might be cheaper for me to maintain a GT3!

They are terrible cars. I have a sedan with the manual on the lot right now. The dealer I share the space with has sold it and bought it back twice.

for 300HP, the V70 T5 I drove felt much faster. Perhaps its all the weight of the AWD system?
