Volvo V70 (Old)

Overall Average Rating - 85.1%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 57th

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.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 13th)

The Swedish brand has slipped again. You love the comfort and refinement of its cars, but aren’t so keen on how much they cost to run. The new range of eco-friendly DRIVe models will surely help.
