Looking for advice before buying a V70 V70-XC70

One other site to visit is:
www.volvospy.com I've found some excellent techincal information such as the "hidden" menus that can be accessed in later Volvo radios.

Regarding FWD vs AWD, if you live in a suburban or urban area that clears its streets of snow regularly, AWD might be overkill. Also consider that the V70 has relatively low ground clearance AWD won't do much more than FWD for pushing the front air dam and undercarriage through snow. I've found the FWD with the stability traction control on my V70 and S80 works well enough to get moving on most lightly snowed and plowed streets.
