What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Volvo V70

2006 Volvo V70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	best seats in the industry see full Volvo V70 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 161hp 2.4L I5 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lumbar support see full Volvo V70 review
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
2006	4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD	Almost as good as the seats in the 92 960. Good support & position except left footrest small & too far left. Lumbar support too far down for a tall person but bearable. Electric memory allows easy switching of seat position on long trips. Bun warmer. see full Volvo V70 review
2006	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Exceptionally comfortable seating for even very long trips. see full Volvo V70 review
2006	4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD	Fantastic front seats see full Volvo V70 review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I have been driving Volvos for 45 years, starting with a PV444. With every model the seats are the most comfortable and best support for driving. They provide leg, lumbar, and side support, and both driver and passenger seats have 6 way controls. see full Volvo V70 review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Can travel for hours without feeling need to stop and stretch. Seat heaters are great too. see full Volvo V70 review

2006 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	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
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
2005	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD	I meant to choose the rear seat item. It could use more leg room in the rear. In the process of putting a lot of cargo space and comfortable front seat in a short car, the rear leg room took the hit. see full Volvo V70 review
