Torque peak at 1,900 rpm is right at 55mph where you need it for passing. All in all, a very solid and well built vehicle - very comfortable, big storage in back, and tight if not razor sharp European style handling.
#2007 VOLVO CROSSOVER FREE#
The chassis is tight and free of rattles. Now, at almost 195K miles, the car starts, runs, and drives down the road as new. An easy, inexpensive project for us home gamer wanna be mechanics. I also completed a tune up with new plugs and coil packs and I replaced the engine temperature sensor and thermostat assembly because MPG readings were intermittently lower than the usual 19-20 city 25-26 highway. Prior repairs had been limited to replacing the steering wheel position sensor "clock spring" at 148K, fuel rail pressure sensor at around 160K, and the front oxygen sensor at 170K. I now have 195K miles on this car and, after looking unsuccessfully … to find a replacement that I like as well or better, decided to refurbish this unit with new strut assemblies, control arms and ball joints and CV axle assemblies in the front and new shocks in the rear. transmission) seem to have been fixed on the 2005-2007 model years and '07 was the last year before Ford made Volvo cost reduce the vehicle and substitute the problematic Mitsubishi OEM T6 engine for Volvo's bulletproof 2.5T. My current 2007 XC70 is my second the first was 2004. For buyers who really do want an all-wheel-drive wagon with raised ground clearance, the Subaru Outback is a better bet, as it offers true off-road capability for less money, along with superior driving dynamics on pavement. There's no question that the 2007 Volvo XC70 looks the part of an all-weather station wagon, but given its lack of off-road skills, it has no advantage over the less expensive Volkswagen Passat 4Motion wagon, which offers more interior room, lots more power and sharper handling. Cargo capacity, on the other hand, is abundant for a wagon, making the XC70 well-suited for hauling mountain bikes and dogs. The rear seat is also plush, but there isn't much legroom. Inside, the 2007 Volvo XC70 has a utilitarian ambience tempered by fabulously comfortable front seats and an ergonomically sound control layout. Driving an XC70 is much like driving a regular V70 2.5T wagon, though the XC's extra 250 pounds of weight make it feel a bit slower and less agile. Renamed the XC70 in 2003, this rugged Volvo wagon has never really lived up to its all-terrain promise, but it is a very capable snow vehicle. Designers tried to make it into a more serious all-terrain vehicle, giving it an even taller ride height and equipping it with skid plates. When the V70 was redesigned for 2001, so was the Cross Country. The XC proved popular with buyers, and soon the Cross Country accounted for half of all V70 sales. Lacking a sport-utility of its own, Volvo took a midsize V70 station wagon, raised the suspension, fitted it with all-wheel drive and gave it a more aggressive front fascia. Originally called the V70 Cross Country (XC), it debuted in 1998, as consumer interest in SUVs was booming. These wagons have come in many different varieties, but the Volvo XC70 is easily the most unique. Although Volvo has expanded its lineup in recent years, creating SUVs and hardtop convertibles to appeal to a more diverse customer base, the company built its reputation on station wagons.
