Volvo S70 2.5 10V 4d (1997/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought at 60k miles, now reads 107k - only servicing and 2 suspension drop links required in addition to the usual compliment of tyres and brake pads.
Costs
A little thirsty, otherwise not that costly to maintain via a knowledgeable specialist.

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive. Better headlights would make things easier on twisty roads at night, especially dipped beam.
Performance
140bhp a little light for a car of this weight - I would go for the 170bhp next time.

Living with it
Reliability
Has never let me down. Minor niggles include regular replacement of bulbs, but at least the dashboard indicator advises when necessary.
Comfort
Very comfortable once the right position is found, although if more than one person regularly drives, memory seats would be a major plus.
