The 2009 Volvo V70 wagon was all-new last year, and is still the best wagon Volvo has produced to date. It's solidly built, with top-drawer safety features and fantastic interior design and finish. While the V70 isn't as exciting to drive as some other European sport wagons, it's quiet, maneuverable and pleasant for the sort of driving most of us do most of the time, which means carrying ourselves, our kids, our pets and things through the urban landscape. The V70 has a six-cylinder engine (as opposed to five) for the first time, with a more efficient six-speed automatic transmission. The package is silky smooth. The V70 retails for considerably less than other similarly sized European luxo-wagons, and it gets better mileage than many SUVS with similar interior space. For many buyers, it's probably the more rational choice.

J.P. Vettraino filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after driving V70 models in Germany and Detroit.
