Funny how people in general have been fooled to think that a car with the age of 12 years is "old car". It is not old, not even close. When a car has age of 20-30 years, you can say it is oldish, but still such cars are very much usable as daily drivers. I have 2004 volvo v70 and the car still feels amazing and has all the basic comforts that are actually important to have, everything works and the ride is smooth. It even looks modern because volvo made it right. It is classic and elegant and has a pinch of sporty touch. But it seems like car industry, politics and media has succeeded in brainwashing people and people think that if the car has been in use for 5 years it should be trashed and brand new model be bought right away because we love to waste perfectly good things.

I owned a v70 d5 for 10 years. It was the best car I've owned. I loved the torque and the sound it made. It would climb the steepest hills like they weren't there. Nice.

I have a 2010 V70 R-Design w/3.2 six cylinder gas engine. Bought it with 185k miles on it but a one owner car with maintenance history. As a US driver I've never noticed the "poor" turning circle. The ride in the R-Design is a little firmer on rough roads but it handles much better than my 07 Volvo S80 V8 AWD. I'm 6'6" and have plenty of headroom even with sunroof. This V70 is my sixth Volvo wagon (estate) and, by far, the best. It's primarily my dog hauler but I really enjoy driving it.

3:09 I’ve owned this exact car for ten years and 130, 000 miles and have never accidentally hit the satnav buttons. Getting out of the car and turning on the wipers is another matter though 😊😊😊
I have no hesitation in saying that when I eventually sell or write off or have it stolen I will buy another mk3 2016 as it’s been the best car of my long life!

Old???? That's minty fresh new mate! My V70R is 25 years old with 230k and I don't class that as old.

Thanks for this-I've had my R-Design V70 for a couple of years now, and it's one of the best cars I've driven in 30 years. I've had cars as good, but none better.

I had an 'X' reg V70 T5 for three years (2004-2007). Fully loaded including phone, drop down dog guard (for over friendly dogs), heated seats, pop-up GPS screen included TV. I converted it to also run on LPG. I absolutely loved the car.

No mention of the geartronic box pros & cons. I run a 57 plate D5 and its an excellent already. 153k on the clock and drives superbly.

I have a d5 but from 2004, it gets 55mpg with mixed driving. The mpg on newer models may be down to common rail/EGR/dpf differences

Weirdly I'm probably going to dump my L322 for one of these.

Good review my tip is get the 2009/2010 without the satnav with the 17inch alloys, the dashboard looks mush cleaner without the satnav which doesn't end up dating the car and in truth doesn't work very well anyway, you will find if you have 17inch alloys you will have a more comfortable ride plus your whole suspension will be in much better shape, in my mind on a v70 makes sense they are a heavy car, but are fantastic on the motor way's and long county roads which I believe the car was made for there a great safe reliable family car with more than enough horse power to make the drive enjoyable .

kinda surprised to see you talk about it drinking fuel, compared to what? i've been driving a 08 d5 xc70 for years and its usually in the mid 30's (british mpg, 8.5l/100 km) this is a almost 1900kg car with all wheel drive..

i dont feel it being hard to park either,

its probably the best family hauler we have owned, hence we are still holding on to it allthough its now 15 years old and has 260k on the clock

Hi George. Great review. I've got the sat nav in my xc90, it's surprisingly good. I drove a 300 round trip recently and found it Informative and clear to follow. There should be a remote for it too.

I love the sound of 5 cylinder engine on both diesel or petrol engines. It one of the reaaons why I would buy it. For me car has to make good sound, not too loud either though
