Considering V70 XC

Post by tmctague »

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

We are considering a Volvo purchase. Have looked at v70 (2000-2005), XC90 (2005) S40 (2000-2001) and V90 (1998). Have read Edmunds, KBB and this forum.

We like the v70 XC, reviews seem OK - wondering which year begins the side curtain airbags for back seat passengers? I know that in 2007 the side curtain airbags had a length increase to reach children, but what about before that? I'm looking for earliest (cheapest) model that has the curtain bags in the back.

Thanks.

Why don't you look up the cars on www.edmunds.com?
They list all standard equipment for all the model years and they list the yearly upgrades
