Volvo V70 (2007 - 2016) D3 (163bhp) R DESIGN (Start Stop) 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Turning circle in this spec is very poor, you have to be aware and plan where you manoeuvre. I think the r design with its 245 45 18 tyres and alloys, lower suspension makes it look great and improves cornering. I do find the steering a little too light at speed. But that's my opinion. To summarise, a beautiful, solid, brisk work horse that ticks so many boxes. Reviews for the the new V90 have been negative about the V70 its replaced but I disagree and would recommend a V70. 163 Bhp D3 R design.
How reliable do you find the car?
Currently has 3rd battery in 7 years. There is an issue that needs resolving.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
. My 850 was a hard act to follow but this V70 R Design in ice white 2011 model is just great. Wonderfully comfortable seats and feels solid and smooth making long journeys a pleasure. Accelation especially for overtaking is reassuringly brisk and loading is just what you want from a work horse.About their car
