Volvo V70 (2007 - 2016) D4 (181bhp) SE Nav 5d Geartronic Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
It's supremely comfortable, quiet, and responsive. The start-stop is a bonus, as are the parking sensors, and it's easy to park because it's not too big. After a 4 hour run, I don't feel unduly tired. It seems to be easy on tires, so no complaints there.
Negatives: Boot lid doesn't open high enough. Very poor leg room in the back - the V70 has always suffered this discomfort - I'm only 6ft, and I hate being in the back, even for a few minutes. The geometry of the left foot rest needs attention, (I've put my own conversion in it.) Sometimes the Sat-Nav needs a bloody good slap, especially in Europe, but I still wouldn't be without it.
How reliable do you find the car?
Occasionally the engine management light comes on, but I have learnt to ignore it. I had an analysis done, and it gets a bit precious about the exhaust gases, but doesn't affect the performance.About their car
