    I have had numerous Volvo cars over a 30 period and can honestly say this model S70 T5 auto was the best ever. I bought it at 3 years of age ex-police and apart from 3 small holes in the dash it is exceptionally well kept. As an auto saloon it is unusual as the police normally go for the estate version. I did manage to get a fuel figure of 39 mpg on a touring holiday but the normal figure was closer to 30 mpg. Even when pushed hard it never went below 28 mpg. I found it to be a real wolf in sheep's clothing performance was amazing. A testament to the reliability of the car is that, when I sold it my daughter-in-law bought it and has had it for 3 more years. She has just sold it to a close friend. The fact that it is still 'in the family' so to speak just illustrates how reliable it is.

    I managed to Buy a 96 (P) S70 T5 one owner from new with 55,000 miles on for £1000. The car has full service history and is immaculate inside and out.I have already done over 2500 miles in the car and apart from the finances of a small country that I have put in the fuel tank I am really pleased with it.
    The guy I bought it off who had had the car from new was quite an elderly gentleman that had probably never driven the car any quicker than 30mph, and was certainly not as heavy right foo ...

    The Volvo S70 was best car I've ever had. Had two 740's previously. S-70 is now 10 yrs old with 255,000 km and still goes well. Still running original shocks very acceptable at ordinary highway speeds. Maintenance (to keep it in top shape) about $2500/yr which is much less than the 740's cost.

    I am 22 and seeking a Volvo S70 T5. round about R reg as the insurance is excellent for that model. I have a passion for a car that is twice as fast and cheaper then a considerable amount of other cars people around my age have. I track tested this model against some other similar cars on a driving simulater (GT4). It did better than the Lexus IS200, Honda Civic type R, Focus RS, Focus ST170, Vectra 3.2v6, it was out classed by the Clio v6 and Honda 2000. Volvos are truely the underdog of the sa ...

    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 maj ...
