12:19 I love that sound. I can't confirm this, but I believe 2001 and 2002 had a special exhaust manifold that was made in Japan that gave those particular cars a really special exhaust note. It sounds clean, sonorous, and rich. After 2003 they switched to a cheaper and simpler exhaust manifold that gives these 5 cylinder engines more of a hollow vacuum cleaner sound.
i know im late to this video but wtf is this guy in the comments saying "slow" lmao.its a 25 year old wagon what did you expect it to throw you back in your seat? anyway this wagon is great and sounds godly in my opinon
@@DMCarReviews And i've owned one of these, worst purchase of my life. I'm lucky i was able to junk that POS, electrical issue after electrical issue, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. These POSe's shouldn't be road legal anywhere, letalone where i live in Sweden.
I mean its 3300 pound (1.5 ton) steel car dont expect much its still so fun to drive them its just not about speed. they are also proablably the most fun daily drivers snice they last for ages
You should do a POV drive of a 2nd gen (2002-2006) Honda CR-V. Very underrated cars. K24, 4WD, fun to drive, and extremely reliable.
I'll have to find one :)

I agree!
@@DMCarReviewsyeah me too. Something being “slow” is not a bad thing.
@@charlesrodriguez7984 The XC70 is not slow at all! Plenty of torque and acceleration for any needs.
@@DMCarReviews true.
What’s the 2 Tone interior an option in that year?
Looks like it was!
Has a small whine to it lol
So slow 🤣🤣
If all you care about is acceleration, you should check out Tesla
@@DMCarReviews I don't care for electric cars, just saying both my Saabs do acceleration way better. 0-100km/h in only 6 seconds.

@@Desynccc That sucks! I've had a great experience with my XC70 2.5T, so I can't relate.
