Load Carrying of the 2008 VOLVO XC70 - Amazing.

So 500miles up with the new 2008 edition Volvo XC70 - and everything going smoothly.

Have now tested the load carrying capability of the car.

I knew that the XC70 was big car - but I had't realised how practical it was compared to my previous car, an Audi A4 Avant.

The key point about the Volvo XC70 is the load area is very square/cubic.. which means you can put really large single objects in, such as furniture - without the sides or rear door intruding into it.

The rear seats of the Volvo are very easy to fold down, one switch and the seat folds completely flat and the headreasts neatly get out of the way, so you don't need to mess around with taking these off.

The cover is also very easy to remove - it is also quite light. Again the Audi A4 took a lot longer to prepare the load area and to also get it back.

Overall - outstanding and does exactly what you would expect from a large Volvo estate. So the Volvo XC70 is really living up to expectations.
