I own one.
Critical service items are: Aux belt and tensioner, transmission fluid change, AWD fluid service. These are outside of normal service items.Too, the timing belt.
I’ve replaced the radiator for a small leak. It’s been a good solid car.
Pros: good solid car
Cons: small leak

I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
Pros: reasonable handling, reasonable noise

AWESOME bad weather tire, They are great on cars that see a lot of not so great roads. I run them on my all wheel drive volvo xc70 and they are fantastic. They handle dirt and mud super well, in addition to just not minding the snow at all, and they have really good hydroplane resistance.
Pros: great bad weather tire

I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.
Pros: plain amazing

I run Blizzaks on my XC70 in the winter, and it's a utter MONSTER in the snow. I've embarrassed 4WD vehicles with good tires on snowy forest roads. I went into the mountains early season last year with just the all-seasons on after a minor snow event (a couple inches, plows had been through) and skidded slightly off a plowed gravel road onto a soft shoulder. Never would have happened with the Blizzaks, I'd just been lazy and hadn't put them on yet - they got put on later that afternoon. I don't notice much of a gas mileage hit that the winter fuel blend doesn't mostly account for anyway.
Pros: utter monster in snow, embarrassed 4WD, no gas mileage hit

The only real issue I had was that there was rust underneath from the NY winters and I eventually needed a new muffler and catalytic converter, which was pricey, so I’d just check underneath if you are in a snowy area.
Cons: pricey muffler, catalytic converter

I drive a 2006 xc70 and while I have regular tires on I absolutely hate how much I lose traction on even the slightest pedal use. I have to baby every turn and intersection so I don't lose grip. Really disappointed with this vehicle.
Cons: lose traction easily

I bought an aftermarket bosch alternator, (new not refurbished) and after installing the pulley to 80NM (black part), I noticed a wobble and a brushing sound. The original alternator does not have this brushing sound.
Cons: wobble, brushing sound
