Volvo V70 Reviews

Volvo V70 (Old)

Owner verdict (Driver Power 2010):

The V70 is starting to slip down the ranks – but that doesn’t mean its past its sell-by date.

A pair of top 10 finishes in the practicality and comfort categories shows that it still knows how to keep owners happy.

However, you told us that the estate’s handling is off the pace, while running costs are high. Equally disappointing is an 80th place finish for reliability.

Overall owner rating :
86.04% (29th overall in Driver Power 2010)
Owners who would buy a V70 Old again:
85%
Owners who would buy another Volvo again:
94%

Ahh, moving house. One of life's great pleasures, in my book right up there with unblocking foul-smelling drains and painting acres of skirting board with white gloss. Which is ironic, because I have done all three in the past few weeks...		 Dec 2003
