We've had our V70 for three years (it's the old model 2.0 SE) since new in May 1997. It was my company car which I bought after a year and have been very pleased with it. The only problem we've had is the battery running dead but the RAC fixed very quickly. The car is quiet to drive but is not very powerful (125bhp), however speed is not our main consideration! Safety and reliability are however and we're very pleased and reassured by Volvo (This is our third Volvo) and we intend to buy more!
Its load capacity is brilliant as my other car is a bit small (VW Golf GTTDI - see my review!) and its flat load area makes loading very easy.
Any more info please contact me.
