Advantages: Performance, flat load area, quietness, looks Disadvantages: Turning circle
...have to say that the Volvo V70 T5 beats them both hands down. (maybe not in sheer speed, but taking everything into consideration it is by far the best)
Well that's my opinion.
Practicality, safety and performance are the three things the V70 T5 does well. 90% of the British traffic police can't be wrong.
It's not the most economical car in the world, but I like the fact that if you want to save fuel you can just drive it carefully. A lot of high ... ...to my expectations but my Volvo does and it surpasses them easily. The Swedish don't leave anything to chance and the Volvo is full of nice little touches.
With the aluminium bonnet and tailgate and galvanized body panels I'm hoping to be rust free for many years. My V70 is only 59,000 miles so the engine has many years life left too.
My only niggle is the turning circle. According to the specs it's the same as my old Laguna, but it certainly doesn't ...

Advantages: Comfortable for cross-country drives, without downside on hp output when negotiating off-roads Disadvantages: Low ground clearance limits car performance
...V70, I'd stick it out with my car. It is "the" family car. With plenty of cabin space, and the safety features that Volvo is known for, I say the V70 is a nice attempt at combining the functionality of an off-road vehicle and the luxury of a city car. ...

Advantages: A Family car which has all the space in the universe Disadvantages: The purchase price and the on the road price are quite heavy on the wallet
...car in my garage.
Volvo are known for the hgh standards in safety, especially side impact. The security is also a high standard. The car comes with every security measure known, double dead locks, Immobiliser. It really has it all.
This is a true motor, its not a car, its motor which has everything about it. You don't go out looking for a crash of course, but for me I felt a lot safer driving this car than some I have drove.
Its not possible to ... ...I don't own one, yet, they kept in touch and sent me magazines featuring the latest news inside the Volvo manufacturer. I see this all as the lottery and a bonus. If you have the money and you're o.k bout opening your heavy wallet then go for it. ...

Advantages: Performance, Handling, Load Space, SE specification Disadvantages: Slightly above average servicing costs, Possible speeding offence waiting to happen
...of owning and running a Volvo and to-date I've been delighted with my decision. The Volvo T5 manages to combine sports performance, family practicality and excellant safety features in one fantastically valued package. The handling and performance are superb making both long motorway or short school run journeys effortless and a real pleasure. The load space is tremendous, this has meant that as a family of five (including baby) we have never been ... ...The chaps at my local dealership where I have the car serviced are excellent and although a little expensive I always manage to receive a complementary curtoursey car for the day and my car returns valeted. So far my T5 and I have enjoyed 90,000 trouble free miles together and as you have gathered from my praise the expereince has been extremly enjoyable, so much so I have my second T5 on order. Oh and you may be wondering about the beast, well expereincing ...

...(a known problem with several Volvo models) was replaced, fortunately under warranty. The old throttle was giving jerky starts from stationary, but later the car cut out when driving round a car park. Automatics shouldn't stall! My new module is about 8,000 miles old and might be having a few problems again.
2. The car won't start when there's less than about 40 miles worth of fuel left. I haven't had it cut out, the problem appears when it's been ...

Advantages: Fast as hell in 3rd gear Disadvantages: value of the car decreases quickly
...was amazed at what a volvo was like, all the interior had been thought out and therewasa vast spacious feel about the car. I went onto my local motorway and flawed it. You could just feel the engine screaming. 0-60 came in no time and it went to a top speed of 166mph. The car on the outside looks quite boxy but all you have to do is step inside it and you realise you have a very good reliable and safety car which just so happens to be a supercar. ...

Advantages: Spacious and great Disadvantages: The windows don't go down all the way, no hanging elbows out the side
The Volvo V70 2.3 T5 se is a classic estate car and ever since I got it, it's helped our family no end. It's a nice size for all of us to fit in and stuff all our luggage in the back for holidays. The seats are great and the heater things in the front seats are great (the actual name escapes me). It's also got the CD player and it's spacious, I can get all the music playing in the back of the car and it'll keep the kids happy for the whole trip. ...
