Volvo V70 2.4 5d XC (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Initial price quite high, but very poor residuals.
Costs
Reasonable running costs. No dearer to service than a Mondeo. Tyre tread depth must be kept within 2mm all round or Volvo will not pay out on warranty claims for damaged transmissions.

On the road
Driving
You can travel 700 miles to the South of France in one hit and still feel fresh.
Performance
Not as quick as an R, but the four wheel drive tames the torque. A superb tow car.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No reliability problems, apart from a loose speaker housing!
Image
A BMW 5 tourer doesn't even come close.
Comfort
Best seats in the business.

Security and Service
Security
It's still on the drive after 3 years.
Service
Johnsons of Worcester are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to help you. The service manager spent over two hours with us until 7.30pm discussing the tyre situation.
