Good Points: Incredibly good torque & response, precise steering ,very good brakes. excellent economy if the temptation to use the vehicle`s performance is kept under control! (163 bhp engine.- the 185 is a bit thirstier I`m told).
Bad Points: Turning circle not as good as previous 850, 740 , & 240 models, but adequate when you get used to it - just don`t think of it as a volvo when manoeuvering.
General comments: An excellent long distance cruiser, cruise control and comfort combine to make long journeys a good experience- the D5 makes you forget that it is a diesel it is so quiet and refined, and the ability to travel over 600 miles before considering refuelling is a new experience for holiday touring! After owning three 240 models, one 740 and one 850, I am well acquainted with Volvo cars, this is my first diesel engined model. Strangely enough I find it better than any previously owned car when it comes to that indefinable "driving experience" - roll on my next trip around Scotland.

Volvo V70 D5 2.5 TD SE
This is my second Volvo after having the 850 TD Estate (now my wife's). I will never buy another make of car! These machines provide a unique mix of understated style, luxury, versatility and practicality. The load space needs no further discussion, except the speed of conversion (putting the seats down etc...). If only someone very clever in Sweden could come up with an idea of where to stow the load space cover!
The D5 versions sacrifice nothing to performan ...
