As someone who doesn't pay much mind to cars, these are the kind of car reviews I need in my life.

Came for the Volvo - stayed for the show ;)

That water crossing clip was so cool. P2 volvos are elite

I sadly had to part with my Volvo xc70 because I couldn’t afford to maintenance it required, still miss it most days and this vid reminds me of all its quirks and why I loved it 🥰

Immediately subbed after seeing that ROLL in the intro. Absolutely outstanding. Also, great review!!

[brettkirkpatrick]

Fantastic video! Very entertaining and informative. I have a V70R and feel that your XC70 is more practical in every respect. I really appreciated the plastic asmr as that is something that I deal with daily. My factory radio is mostly broken as well. Thanks for all the effort!

Amigo ! Among others Volvos, I have the 'same' 2007 XC70. However, mine is the D5 (D5244T4) with the 6 gear auto. I live in the Swiss mountains. My median/average Diesel consumption is mixed (highways, roads, moderate-off roads) is 6.1 l Diesel, that is just HALF of your fuel consumption ! As 185 hp/136 hp is little for a 2.4 l diesel, I most get a chip tuning (not from Heico/Polestar !), very proven, and increase power -> 227 hp (166 kW) and the torque from 400 Nm -> 517 Nm. (All tested on the 4x4 bed). Consumption is even ca 1/2 lower, and the D5 engine is very robust, rarely had a problem. These engines have often made up tor 400 Tkm, with the chip, then we sold them to export. The only weakness is the Aisin TF-80 auto. But with flushing the auto very 100 Tkm, you can avoid problemes. But: this is NOT an OFF-ROADER. To get up to the Alps we have the Discovery 4 3.0 SD (diesel of course).

I recently sold my Brand New 2021 Kia Niro because there was a jerking issue and Kia wouldn't fix it so I decided to sell it back to them and I got more than what I paid because of the car market a few months ago was crazy. Called the pops to ask him about another car I liked and instead he offered to give me a 2005 Volvo XC70. That's why I'm on this channel today so we can be Volvo Buddies! lol I grew up at Volvo Dealerships because my Dad is a Master Tech on them and now has his own shop so of course he is going to give me Volvos. First car at 16 was a 1984 240 model so here I am again with another Volvo. It's Destiny and this particular model actually looks pretty incredible for what it can do off road! Enjoyed your cool and funny video and now can't wait to get mine!

The commentary on the handle is spot on

[KitCloudkickerKLauNine]

Thanks for making me love my XC70 even more.

[mallardc]

good review, i have an XC70 2005 D5 Auto SE Lux and its epic apart fromt those plastic creaks!! l😆probably the best blend of attributes of any car i have owned over last 30+ years, BMW's Mercedes, LandRover's, VW and Audi etc

[swedishcd]

I have an 07 with the 4c and it's a nerds dream

[jakeleach]

The vid was awesome!! Love the visuals

[EverydayProjects]

Ok, young fella, you got me. I Subscribed. Your mastery of photo-video production is second to none and the elements you've added to keep the viewer connected are superb. And, you did a great job of showcasing the Volvo XC70. I have a 2001 V70XC (same color as yours: silver outside with the baseball-stitched chocolate brown leather seats) and also a 2004 XC70 that I just picked up for either parts or repair, not sure yet. That one is black with a somewhat lesser quality interior: black seats but not nearly as nice as the V70. They are great cars and everyone who has ever owned one loves them-hands down. I picked up the V70XC in non-running condition after the timing belt jumped, ruining the valves, but I found another head and put it back together. The arrival of the car and some of the engine work videos are on my channel. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Greetings and Best New Year's wishes from British Columbia, Canada.

Awesome video man! I also own an xc70 and I absolutely love it! Such a nice comfy car that can go almost anywhere as well.

[RollingShutter]

the previous owner screwed up the headunit install big time. Best to do it all over again, to get the trim back in shape.

[chaboondavis]

ASMR bit was my favorite, i will sleep to that tonight 😴

[richardocain]

I love my XC70 and drives great in Colorado Snow but it would not last 30 minutes in 95% of the 4x4 trails in Colorado. Again love my XC70 VOLVO. Love the video though. You did a great job on squeaky plastic.

I have an 08' model. Best vehicle ive ever owned...

[lifelong]

Well...lmao..I have an 04, with surprisingly low km's for the age...(approx 182, 000...18 years simply surpass all that usability requires...Great looking, and how bizarre that so many of us owners can actually just look at the profile, the front, the rear and remain a car this old, that is a classic design... There is something special about owning a vehicle that was $50, 000 plus in Canada when new, and I bought it for $6000 just over 2 years ago. Granted, I have put money into it, ...but, it rides like a dream, I've even got over the shock of premium gas....but it would never be a daily in the recent gas hell of life, when Vancouver Canada reached 2.40 per litre for regular...not premium, which meant you had sell your house to buy looked actually...Every dollar I put into this indestructible vehicle is worth it....Loved your
