The Green Agenda - Why this Volvo V70 TDi is the only car you will ever need

I bought a beautiful Volvo V70 TDi and it's your perfect car for life. In this video I explain why an old, high mileage, well loved diesel estate car from Sweden is actually the answer to all of the planets problems.

We’ve got an 850 T5 in the family in that colour, it’s probably one of the best colours ever put on a normal car. We’re on about getting rid, and each time I hear that it might be going I want to buy it myself. Shame I can’t afford to insure though - and the bloody mpg it gets too!

5:10 Dont buy an EV, get yourself a 2 grand Volvo V70 tdi and just keep it forever, love it forever, it will run on ANY Diesel, its just a nice honest car, just buy one of these, keep it on the road, run it forever, never change a car, look after it and let that be YOUR GREEN AGENDA! 💚

This must be one of the best I've seen. Proper unicorn right there! I'd have that in a heartbeat!

Great colour Geoff...I have a 940 in the same colour !...I call it volvo racing green !

[jamesgane]

Had mine twenty two years bought from new 222300 Miles now, if Volvo made a van mine would be it, throw every thing in it all my tools etc I do window repairs and the back seat is the perfect glass rack, so had to buy another TDi p80 as my posh car, love them to bits, 50 plus mpg what is more environmental over the cars life cycle who needs electic cars!!!

Same colour as my 850R. Favourite colour. Don't think we ever got the Diesel here in Australia.

I had one of these, also in Olive green and also with cloth seats. However mines did have climate control and I did upgrade the seats to a real nice grey leather set from an 850. It also looked pretty nice with the Canistos I put on it. An unreal motor, I loved it a lot. I was very sad when the timing belt nipped 😢

When I went to buy my V70 T5 the guy had a V70 diesel too. If a customer wasn't coming down from Scotland to get I reckon I'd have gone for it over the rocket ship! Keep 'em going.

I’m here because we have a green Nissan X-Trail with sunburnt paint. I was beside one of these yesterday and fell in love with the color. 😆

[petedenton]

I had a couple of S70 TDi autos - they were great cars!

[lifelong]

OMG...watching from Vancouver, Canada..have an 04 xc70 2.5 t, awd...petrol/gas engine/premium fuel to boot....Diesel Volvos not seen here, very rare...50 mpg, I'm beyond jealous....who needs a payment when you can have such a car like that green machine...nice one mate.

[shaunkerr]

Yes Geoff buys cars I have one of these in a lovely grey colour 99 on a v plate cream leather 2.5 td se auto 250k I’m loving it

[alistairlambert]

Ideal if you are a Breaking Bad fan (Gustav's wheels). Lovely retro oil burner.

[Andymelvin]

Nice honest car…it’ll run on red diesel if you can “find” some. Slight contradiction there 😂
Lovely colour too.

[lordbrasic]

I had a 99 V70 diesel auto brilliant car bought it at 150k ran it to 420k and the gearbox went. Probably the cheapest motoring I ever had. 62 mpg average. I sold it to a Volvo breaker my total depression for the miles I covered 150 less than I paid for it.

[StuartOliver]

You’re really making me want one of these I was working today in Basingstoke and there was an old guy getting into an old 850r I was tempted to ask if he wanted to sell it

[danielerickson]

I have a 2000 V70R, it's just black, unfortunately, but one of my mirrors is this color! and the other is silver lol. The car has been a lot of work, I rebuilt the head, just have to fix a coolant leak at the turbo and the throttle issue

[SvenST]

I have exactly the same car. 2.5 diesel manual. 400k km (ca 250k miles). Looks like new and feels like new. No rust. Some economy mods done. I get 4l/100km (ca 45mpg?).

[GRY]

I do concur Mr Buys Cars on that Colour
