Re: Allroad V70-XC70 2001

Carl;

I'm really not here to per-sway-de you as I, like you, given money no object, I would go for the allroad. In my view, it's got the edge on power, the AWD is somewhat more refined if not proven over the years and that 4 level air suspension is the neatest thing the pseudo-SUV manufacturers like Audi, Volvo or Subaru have come up with lately.

But having to live with a finite amount of cash and having to make these tough decisions (kids, wife, big house, etc), the Audiworld article has made me confident that the XC is a fine alternative. It holds its own in the test, you must agree (OK!, 215 or 225 hp would be nice)!

I hope though that the XC will demonstrate before we make the final decision that it will be a reliable machine. This has been a disputable point lately but the next few months should tell the story on that.

Cheers and be easy with these Volvo fans. They are a loyal bunch!
