Volvo S70 2.5 20V CD 4d (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
With the kit that's on the CD, the second hand price is outstanding value. Averages 28 to the gallon combined.
Costs
Dealership servicing is medium to high in cost. Parts and servicing can be done privately at a reasonable cost though through motor factors.

On the road
Performance
Slow off the mark, but after 3500 rpm she flies.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems with her starting etc. Had to change rear discs at 50,000 mile but this is the norm apparently. No majors, bought the car at 24,000 miles now on 57,000.
Image
One word, Class.
Comfort
Superb interior, electric everything, leather seats are the business. Makes others look and feel cheap in comparison.

Security and Service
Security
Thorough, but the internal sensors are playing up, for the cost of repair I'd just rather disable them.
Service
A bit on the expenx=sive side but worth it because of it's thoroughness.
