It’s great that you review the cars most people would actually buy, there isn’t many you tubers that do that! So thanks for the great content, really enjoying watching the vids .

You’re right, I’m a fangirl of Volvo and I love the sound the D5’s make

[onetwothreetwoone]

When I saw the thumbnail of the V70..."This week on Traffic Cops"

These are among the most durable cars in the existence. A lot of super high mileage cars in Scandinavia that have been used as taxis. Even crazy mileages like 700 thousand kilometers is not a problem for these cars. They don't handle as well as Mercedes, BMW or Jaguar but they're very robust and safe cars.

Always good to see a Volvo review, as you say, "quality"! Would love to see you do a V40 sometime...

Reg Varney - contemporary reference, love it

Bought a nice example 2010 S80 2.4 a few months back, took a while to get used to the sheer size of it but overall best car I've ever had, see Matt, at some point in your life you start putting comfort over thrills (and high bills) ;)

I ❤ Volvo estates. I've had 2, but have been driven in 4, as family owned 9 of 'em from 80s to mid 2000's.

I had the T6 AWD & it was, as you say, the ultimate sleeper, I loved the surprise factor & it sounded great at full chat. Never had a car that could make progress like it, everyone would move out of your way if you came up behind them because they were unsure if you were a copper. Just traded it in for a v90 cross country T5 which is a step up & quite wonderful. Enjoy your videos. Cheers.

Loved the T5s we had in the Police. The S60 T5 was a right hooligan.
Loads of torque steer under firm acceleration.
Used to sound like a missile on a response run with the turbo whistling away. Could easily do 2 tanks of fuel on a busy shift. The follow up T6s were even thirstier which is probably why the powers that be decided to change to the BMW 530d.

My dad had a 1987 Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooler estate! Love for Volvo ever since!

[alansimpson]

Loved my V70 1.6 eDrive facelift manual. Sold it with 120K on the clock and only failure was egr valve. It's a ford / Peugeot engine so very cheap to repair. Adveraged 55mpg. Once managed 1100 miles from a tank. Sold it for a 2011 BMW 535D touring, lovely to drive, but unreliable in comparison. Now got a Volvo V90 D4 inscription. Love it.

[bobjenkins]

I had an identical one of these in blue at 21. Absolutely loved that car

[susanb.]

I own two of these exact models and I love them

[danmurphy]

Great gig, we’ve one of these old girls, 270 k miles, looks and goes lovely, hard to beat really..

[rybbe]

The most common daily driver car here in Sweden. You see it everywere you go :D. And yes... i actually think the engine in a 2, 4D sounds good

[TheMundin]

I have a D5 in my XC60. Amazing sounding engine, one of the main reasons I bought it.

[safbeafbe]

My dad's owned one of these, this exact spec and engine, for about 5 years now. It cost him less than 4 grand to buy and the only thing he's done to it in 5 years is rear brake discs n pads with about 140K miles. Tank of a car. We call it "Chewbacca" due to the growly sound of the engine. Nice review, though people still sleep on the reliability of this volvo generation.

[JM-uovp]

I have a 2010 V70 and I absolutely love it. Had a £35k V90 T6 cross country before and traded it in for the V70 and a RUCKSACK full of £20 notes. Could not be happier

Great car. Probably weights about the same as a medium coach and seems to be able to compete with the millage of a 747 of the same age.

Make more videos please

Great work horses I remember years ago my brother in law had a 760 gle turbo all black and black leather. Seats, he loved it defo cars for people who like boring safe cars I prefer. The Saab
