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.

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.

Best investment I've made I've owned BMWs Mercedes and other European cars but I am pleased I bought a Volvo.
