Volvo XC70 XC70SE 2004

Good car for Company Director covering all of England and Wales with long commute, country living and two large dogs with luxury of Morgan 4 litre in garage plus third coupe car. I owned two previous Volvo’s in between a BMW X5, Mercedes C class estate, 2 Range Rovers and a Discovery and the XC70 (2004 - 2008). It proved the most practical of the lot. However it was off the pace with chassis development to the point of floating around bends making passengers sick. On motorways and A class roads taking me from my farmhouse near Ludlow to our country holiday home 850 miles away in Southern France; slushing down muddy lanes with me alone driving fine. But I opted for a Q7 when I retired a few months ago since it has the space for the dogs and more modern technology giving a far superior ride and engine. Pity. I liked Volvo’s.

Get your wheel bearings tested. Appears to be a common fault. I have had 3 out of the 4 changed. Warranty team will try and tell you it is wear and tear!!

Volvo XC70 D5 2008

Bought the D5 SE Lux back in March 2008 - and have since clocked up 8000miles in this faultless family wagon. It easily swallows up all the luggage that is needed for a family of four on a weekend away and carries us all in ’BMW’ like comfort with leather, Air Con, and many many more home comforts as standard. The D5 mpg is good for a car of that size and weight - 30mpg urban and 39mpg motorway. Recommended.

Volvo XC70 2003

I purchased a second hand XC70 from a Volvo dealer a few weeks ago. The vehicle was tested on what now appears to be smooth road, and no test was made on any other road surface. I am now somewhat appalled at the road noise, even a very low speeds, i.e. less than 5 miles per hour, the dealer stated that this was normal? I can’t believe that Volvo would produce a vehicle that has this very marked ’fault’, would others respond and give views.

Volvo XC70 2.4 DS SE Lux 5dr

I do some hefty motorway mileage both for work and personally so I wanted something I could do it in in real comfort and having 3 kids safety was paramount. This is a fabulous car and the safety spec is second to none. Very comfortable drive and massive amount of space. Excellent.
