Good Points

Very comfortable seats.

Bad Points

Bad vibration through the steering which the dealership claims is normal, after 3 visits.
Tyre wear. New front tyres after 9000 miles of normal driving.

General Comments

The Volvo V70 D5 SE (185) is a good looking car with good interior quality and space, but let down massively by poor driving and high running costs, compounded by very poor customer service from Volvo HO. I will not be buying another Volvo.

    I bought an 03 plate Volvo V70 D5 SE three months ago from a Volvo dealer, and it is the best car I have ever driven. At 70000 miles it is still like new. It's smooth, powerful and a joy to drive. I have to agree that the seats are wonderfully comfortable. The only niggle I have is that the audio controls are difficult to operate, and it hasn't got reversing sensors. But other than that I love it!

    The vehicle here concerned is NOT a D5 (185), ie- not comparable.
