Are traction control and AWD the same?
I have a 1998 Volvo V70 GLT. The insurance company has my car listed as an AWD. Are traction control and AWD the same thing? I guess I had better call the insurance company! The Tracs off button is not the same as AWD or 4WD. Couldn't they have told that by the vin # I gave them?

Why should I also consider these? X

Almost all of the V70’s rivals come from Europe, and nearly all offer performance that’s livelier than that of the 2009 Volvo V70.

The V70’s interior is the real differentiator versus its rivals; its look and feel is refreshingly different, and the backseat design is easier to fold down than in most other wagons.

At the far end of the comparison is the larger Mercedes E-Class, which as a wagon only comes in all-wheel-drive E350 4Matic form or as the high-performance E63 AMG.

Both models are considerably more expensive than the V70 without being much roomier inside.

The Passat is substantially more affordable than the V70, and very fuel efficient when equipped with the standard 2.0T engine, while the A6 Avant and 9-5 SportCombi both have a sportier feel behind the wheel than the V70 without being much worse in ride comfort.
