My Dad’s 2000 V70. Now ours. Lots of memories, some bitter sweet. I
know he’d be thrilled with the care I’m giving it.

Fix the sunroof?
It isn't/wasn't broken?
I think he's referring to your recent YT video of leaking Atlas panoramic roof, and simply has it confused with Passat. Or I could be wrong.
oh maybe - Passat's sunroof leaked week 1 I owned it...just cut off the ends of the f. drains and it was sorted.

Grippy tires I don’t hear any tire squeal awesome thanks for sharing
The venerable Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tires. I'm not pushing it that hard either...this isn't the car for that.
So yesterday I traded in my 2022 Subaru Outback.
Twas a good car but I had the itch to get a true wagon. Been thinking of one of these for quite some time now and finally pulled the trigger
2024 Volvo V60 Recharge T8 Polestar. Do not have any pictures yet. So this one will have to do. This is a dream car for sure

Sorry to see the Subaru Outback Wilderness go, but that Volvo is stunning. We loved the Volvo XC70s that our family has owned and the local Volvo dealer has always been solid.
The Outback was/is a very fine automobile. I will miss it. But I am a wagon guy at heart and the Outback is not a "true" wagon. At least not to me. It is kind of wagon adjacent. So for that reason it didn't quite ring my bell completely. Now the Volvo is a pure wagon. With luxury and performance to boot

Saw one yesterday. Very nice car. Impressive front brakes and with the electric motor, more power than my V70R. Sure wish it was available with a manual…
Since folks are no doubt wondering…

So decided to wash it today and got an outdoors pic
And a pic of the 6 piston Brembo caliper
Really loving this car so far. Drives mostly in electric mode for my commute. So far have put almost 300 miles on it and averaging 71 mpg. Still have more than 3/4 tank available. Very quick calculation shows charging the battery from 0% to 100% costs about $3.50. That gets me 40 miles. So far it is costing less money to drive than the Outback as that got me 20 mpg. Hopefully long term these numbers will still be this good

Mazda wagon in the wild.
I almost just bought one. It was Vulcan 3.0L V6 with a 5-speed manual. Same color and wheels too. But the car I ended up buying was $1500 cheaper, 10 years newer, and same mileage.
Actually those had the Duratec 3.0, not the Vulcan.
You are correct.
