2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It may seem strange to rate seat comfort so highly, but that's only if you have never driven in a Volvo. Amazing, ergonomic, adjustable, but those could describe many seats. What my wife would say (and I've read others express as well) is if you have back problems, get your Dr. to prescribe you a Volvo! They are that good. see full Volvo V70 review

2008 Volvo V70 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	no knee room see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is not much if the front seats are back see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	To give rear seats reasonable amount of room, you have to keep front seats forwards. see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Though not a big issue, the rear seats could be a bit wider for better 3-abreast seating (though most vehicles share this limitation). The greater need, however, is another few inches of legroom. It is adequate, but only that. Another 3 or 4 inches would make the rear seat amazing, but then again, that would come at the cost of rear cargo capacity ... no such thing as a "free lunch". see full Volvo V70 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2008 Volvo V70

2008 Volvo V70 Powertrain: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	quick car see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Turbo engine pulls well from low down and is surprising quick for a big car. see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Based on specs from most current vehicles, the 208 hp and 236 lb/torque doesn't sound like much, but the torque comes on early and the vehicle doesn't lack for power when merging on the highway or passing, as the need arises. Fuel economy isn't spectacular, but neither is it anywhere near as poor as heavier vehicles, like true SUV's. As always, one's driving habits impact on that more than most other variables. see full Volvo V70 review
