Volvo V70 in general

I have become a fan of the Volvo brand of late. The over all sense of intelligence wrapped up in the beautiful bodies that Volvo now wrap their cars in is exceedingly appealling. I explored a new V70 one day and I decided that one day, if given the chance, I might actually part with a lot of cash for one. I don't believe that Volvos are, as yet, of the same all encompasing excellence of BMWs but they are getting closer and closer. They have a different kind of appeal to them.

I have owned a Volvo V70 for around 2 years now and have been very pleased with it. I have not experienced any problems with this car and would recommend it to anyone.

The Volvo V70 has been our family car for just iver a year. Not only can it hold the standard 5 passengers, but an extra 2 children in the very back with additional seatage available from Volvo.

Our model has auto windows all over the car plus a brilliant stereo at the front of the car. This car is solid in performance and on test is better tan its BMW rivals! This car will not be beaten in a one on one test. ...  Read the complete review
