Volvo S70 2.5T CD 4d (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Best bought second hand. Once 3 years old, lost all its depreciation.
Costs
Main servcie cost me £1200 at Volvo so not a cheap car but hey what does fun motoring cost these days.

On the road
Driving
Swedish tank, safe and fun car. Slight turbo lag, but over 4k rpm away it goes.
Performance
T5 is 2.3, so slighty smaller engine, but more power and the R is just awesome - a real 911 or M5 contender.

Living with it
Reliability
Faultless.
Image
Gone are the days of the dodgy slow-moving Volvo driver. Bring on the R in all its glory.
Comfort
Great for munching the motorway miles.
