Volvo V70 2.5 TDi XT 5d Auto (1999/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Not cheap but quality never is. Superb build and finish, feels safe and sturdy, but a refined drive for such a big vehicle
Costs
I would advise buying from dealer or franchised dealer and getting a full warranty especially with higher mileage models. Insist on full service history

On the road
Driving
Excellent motorway driver, but a little noisy around town in low gears
Performance
If you want neck breaking performance, don't buy a TDI, however I was surprised at its agility and find its cruising performance excellent

Living with it
Reliability
Expected Volvo reliability. Keep it serviced and it wont let you down. Can handle galactic mileage if looked after. Don't ignore little things, keep on top of maintenance
Image
Difficult to assess this. It's a good looking car and beacause it's a Volvo and a v70 I doubt whether many are buying it to make a fashion statement
Comfort
Fantastic cabin and seating. Roomy, spacious and quite luxurious. The ride is a little hard, but not at all unnerving.

Security and Service
Security
Like the options for driver and passenger to deadlock doors from arm rest. Hasn't been nicked yet so I guess alarm and immobiliser are ok
Service
Bought from franchised dealer, would do so again
