The 2008 Volvo XC70 has received a few lukewarm reviews, but OutDrive.ca thinks that's a matter of context. Determined to put the all-wheel drive in its natural setting, and Sweden not being handy, OutDrive.ca heads north.

  • Sure it can handle the easy BC coastal winters, or even the wet snow of the Rockies- but ever try to drive it in Saskatchewan? Those pot holes will tear that plastic fascia clean off.

  • @lupischuckle Perhaps, though we have friends who live in Inuvik and use the XC70 as a year round commuter up and down the Dempster.

  • @onewheeldrive Really? Well.... that just shut me right up then! It is a beautiful car, I'm just used to my old steel Defender that all that plastic makes me nervous. That being said, if there were a diesel option I would be far more inclined to take a second look. But alas...

  • @lupischuckle Well, wasn't aiming to "shut you up", sorry if it came off harsh. I do agree that the plastics are a potential problem.

  • You should have tested it with the D5 diesel engine, not the petrol engine.

  • Unfortunately that wasn't an available option ere in Canada at the time of the test.

  • the outback is not in the same class as the xc70... The Xc70 nearest rival is Audi A4 allroad or A6 allroad.. it´s a Premium car
