2010 Volvo XC60 Road Trip (part II): Mendocino, CA
Get Free Local Price Quotes at Edmunds.com Made it to Mendocino. It's true what I've heard: "Too cute," and picturesque beyond words. I've avoided it for all these years because of that reputation, but I must admit there's something magical and genuine about it, as well. See for yourself, and after the jump, you'll see [...]

2010 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD: I think we can remove the tape now
After heeding the warnings (and never really believing masking tape does one bit of good holding a windshield in place anyway), I went our favorite car wash and (gasp) removed the miraculous blue paper tape. But just before I sent it down the conveyor, I noticed something else wasn't quite right. [...]
2010 Volvo XC60: 15,000-mile Service
This one was really easy. We called Volvo of Santa Monica and scheduled an appointment for a 15,000-mile service on our 2010 Volvo XC60. "We have an opening tomorrow at 9am," the operator said. We took it. At 9am we dropped off the XC60. By 11am our phone rang. The Volvo was ready for pick [...]

2010 Volvo XC60 T6: Flip Happy Seats
Our long-term Volvo XC60 pulled yeoman's duty this weekend, hauling a ton of boxed discount audio gear around L.A. The XC60's rear seat does not slide fore-aft, but it does make itself quite useful with a split folding setup and slick headrests that duck out of the way with the flick of a lever. [...]
2010 Volvo XC60: Panel Mystery Solved?
Back in February, I posted about the panel behind our XC60's steering column being popped out of place. I think I've figured out why it happened. The above photo is of the same panel with the telescoping steering wheel is telescoped all the way out. That panel goes right where it's supposed to be. [...]
2010 Volvo XC60: Gauging Success
I recently spent some time in the C30, and that cool little hatch reminded me that Volvo does a great job of creating vehicles that feel special and non-generic. The cabin of our XC60 offers further proof. We've already spotlighted the neat waterfall design of its center console. I also dig the gauges. They're straightforward [...]
2010 Volvo XC60: How the Ski Pass-Through Worked for Snowboards
For my trip to Mammoth this weekend, I had put in a request weeks ago with key keeper, Mike Schmidt, for our 2010 Volvo XC60. With four people and all our gear and the car's all-wheel drive, it was the perfect vehicle for a snowboarding trip. Fortunately only two of the four people had their [...]
