Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Large boot, seats 7 with the rear seats down, flat floor. Aisin gearbox that doesn't care if you tow an empty car or another 4 tonne trailer in the back, weighs over 2t empty, pulls big trailers quietly, handles heavy trailers well on the road.
Cons: Deplorable all-wheel drive, constant problems with haldex electronics. Small fuel tank. Not much room in the back, if you have a 1.88 cm tall person in the front, there is little legroom in the back. Poor performance at off-road comparing to XC70, due to bigger weight disadvantage. Front passenger airbag cannot be deactivated, so child seat cannot be put down. At 20 yrs old, ceiling sticks off, trim around front windscreen. Alternator belt needs to be looked after more than the timing belt, when the alternator belt breaks it gets dug in behind the guards as a rule, tearing the timing belt which ends in bent valves and usually an engine change.
