1998 Volvo V70 4 Dr XC Turbo AWD Wagon Review
ProsStylish and comfortable car that can handle a variety of road conditions. Kids love the pull down armrest for drawing and taking naps. It came with AWD, I would have gone without it, but now wouldn't own a car without the AWD. Many SUVs don't come close to the cargo capacity in this SW. On weekends I don't even think twice about what I want to bring, I know it will fit. ConsGas mileage is decent but not impressive. Strong engine has never failed. Electronics are not as reliable.

The Original Crossover — This is a good looking car that drives smoothly and safely around town and on all kinds of roads. It is comfortable to ride, is easy for the kids to climb in and out, and has plenty of power to climb up mountains passes. On more than one occasion the AWD performed perfectly where V8 pickup trucks got stuck. The backseats split in the middle and fold flat to accomodate what you need to carry. It had no problem moving a bunkbed and 2 mattresses after a visit to Ikea, and the kids were in the car too.

ProsIts a Volvo ConsYour a weaklin

Absolutely Superb — Built like a tank with loads of room, doesn't know how to break down which is great and is more comfortable than an arm chair. Not too heavy on fuel and although not as quick as a T5 still pretty good. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Awesome Sport Wagon, Questionable Build Quality — I'd imagine these cars are NOT for people who drive cars that are 10 years old. Probably best as brand new, dealer-maintained cars. Although I love the acceleration, braking and handling, and overall highway comfort at crusing speeds, this car breaks alot. I've had to do multiple repair jobs on tons of secondary components (A/C, Door Controls, Emmissions Systems) but the drivetrain has been solid. Parts are hard to get, expensive, and difficult to install. Not a great car to work on. | ||

V70 2.5 Turbo All Wheel Drive — Economy is waste of time - I can get better from the Lambo, blows most cars away at traffic lights, excellent load space, can tow an elephant with it, four wheel drive just takes you anywhere, comfortable, handles well, good fun when you want fun and normal when you need it to be. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

I Highly Recomend This Car — I bought it for $2,000 off the original owner. So far no issues and have put a 1,000 miles on it with no major issues. Power wise it has sport mode and it will surprise you with how big the car is that it can actually get up and go like it does and with the low pressure turbo and the straight 5 it actually does really well!. It is the ultimate sleeper because kids in Honda's will roll up and act tough and you can blow them off the line and burn em! I have got 24 mpg around town and about 28 mpg on the freeway.

ProsDrives smooth and handles the road. The look of the inside and out is meant comdition for year of car and under hood. ConsStarting issues could be a pain. Brought from private owner and was not honest about repairs. So be aware of friends and scams.

Unpredictable — I love the way the car drives. The space is great for family and pet. Gas is wonderful throughout the week for this car. However, the person that had this car before, did not take care of it and left little problem that may cause huge ones. I believe it can be saved and have many more miles to go. Brakes, and performance of the car made me feel very safe. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Nope — Turbo lag, quite bumpy suspension, too low for the headroom, enormous boot, you cannot expect much on the appeareance of Volvo, but passenger safety are always the spot on all Volvos, quite high fuel consumption, but still it's a good car Primary Use: Family transportation |
