Opinions on XC70 D5 2004-model

[Knut Erik]

Hi. Anyone have any experience good or bad on this car? I live in a place with snow 5 months of the year, and temps easily -15 to -20C during winter and it seems like a good choice. I would also like to hear from owners with experience with the different options of integrated sound systems. Is it worth a upgrade?

(Considering to jump of the VW Passat to Volvo)

Thanks.

Bought a 2004 xc70 in September. I am very pleased with the car. We are in the midst of a stretch of cold snowy weather (nighttime temps
-20F) and the xc70 has performed admirably. I was not content with the performance of the original tires in snow, so I put on four Blizzaks which I think make the difference between a good snow car and a great snow car. I of course cannot comment on the long term reliability as I am just approaching the first service interval.
