Image
If you're not 40 with kids and a Labrador or two, everyone will think you are. Part of the charm is that the V70 is 'classless' in a similar way to the Mini. Plebs and Toffs drive them.
Comfort
Superb. So much more comfortable that my BMW 728i that preceded it.

Security and Service
Security
Very good with alarm, immobiliser, and deadlocks.
Service
Service is an unknown quantity so far. Quotes from Dealer are £300-£350 for 54,000 Service when it is due in 5000 miles.
