My new XC70
« on: May 22, 2007, 08:43:35 pm »
Got it today, Adventure package (17" wheels, speed sensitive steering, xenon's, active suspension (4C)), convenience package, leather, sunroof, Titanium pearl, rear spoiler. Really great handling in sport mode, good power (700 lbs less than my previous XC90, comfortable, good cargo space and better fuel economy. I think this car is a sleeper! I love it so far!

Just tried the active headlights that aim in the direction you are turning. This is realy cool. Also the Xenon's are so much more efficient than the one's on my wife's 2004 S60. Excellent on both low AND high beams.

The compass in the rear view mirror is a useless nuisance however. A good thing that you can turn it off.

Always liked Volvos, their styling motifs stretches across all their cars, plus those comfy seats. :D

Congrats.

Agreed the colour suits the Cross Country.

That parking light is very neat. The wheels sporty while also somewhat off-roady and different. The seats look comfy, and some great features.

Very nice combination! Congrats.
