Volvo S80 at BOS?
We will be doing our first Prestige rental towards the end of the month from BOS, and currently have an S80 reserved. How are they equipped? Loaded?
The Volvo XC70 is almost the same price--which one would you choose? Are the engines / features much different?
Thanks! ^

From renting a S80 early last year at BOS, it was ok. The engine was sluggish. I don't think it was the TC version.
From renting a XC70 at SEA last year, it felt better than the S80. If you need more room but in a PC, the XC70 is a good choice being a wagon.

Not a big fan of the Volvos, both under powered. At the same price, I would probably pick the Avalon/Lincoln LS. Or, for another $20/day, the Audi A6.
Unless of course you just really want to drive a Volvo.

I had one a while ago from DFW -- it was mostly standard-issue amenities IIRC. Leather, auto climate control, moonroof, etc.
If you don't need the interior space, some airport locations are starting to receive the Audi A4 2.0t, and those are also in the H class. ^
