Good Points: Performance (for a 2.4 diesel), handling, fixtures and fittings and finish inside and out.
Bad Points: Noise, noise and more noise. Harsh ride. Gearing system.
General comments: This is a 185bhp D5 SE LUX geartronic version of the Volvo V70.
This is the worst car that I have ever owned (I have had quite a variety over the years) due to the excessive noise that reverberates around the cabin.
This comes from the engine/exhaust, road noise and wind noise - the cacophony is appalling particularly so for a car of this price range. Add in the excessive road noise and this is a most unpleasant environment to be in.
For comparison, I lived with a Volvo 850 tdi estate previous to this, that is still a much quieter, more comfortable car than this new incarnation.

I have had four Volvo estate cars in succession. The last three being V70's.
They have all been trouble free, but I like my present the AWD version the best, which I have now had for just over one year.
I exceed 20,000 miles per year, and my longest journey is a five hour journey of 325 miles twice a month, so comfortable seats are most important, and the seats in the Volvo V70 D5 SE are comfortable.
I would be happy to sell any of the Volvo cars I have had on to friends or family. ...

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.
