Build quality, refinement, performance, comfort
Heater Matrix prone to faliure, dealer costs, too many ex-police examples around
I have owned my Volvo S70 T5 SE Auto Executive Car for just over a year. I have wanted to own a T5 for a long time and finally got the funds to purchase one. I had to do a lot of searching becasue of the amount of ex-police examples on the market.
The performance of the T5 engine is something else. It may not be the fastet car off the line but with 330nm of torque it can out accelerate most things once moving. Drive the car hard and you will pay for it in tyres and fuel costs.
The only major problem I have had with my car is that the heater matrix failed. A new matrix will cost approx £100 but fitting is a problem as part of the dash needs to be removed.
Overall there is not a quicker car for the money. The engines will last forever if maintained well. High spec for the money.
