Default New Guy from Calgary

Hi!
Just popping in to say hello. Obviously new to the forums. Also Volvo ownership.
Just bought the XC70 after my previous vehicle (2000 Chev Blazer 4x4) was written off.
Being a new dad, gave me the brilliant idea to go and look at some Volvos. First dealership. First stop. First drive. First love ( ).
After test driving the XC70, the salesman gave us the keys to a Subaru Outback. I think it was a setup. The Outback lacked in every area important to my family, compared to the Swede. Comfort, power,interior cargo room.

That's all I guess. It's time for me to get acquainted with the basics of the forums and do some 'searches.'

Cheers,
Kornel

Don't forget the best safety in business.

The only thing the Subaru excelled over the Volvo was the electrical/electronic system reliability.
