2001 Volvo V70 2.4T Review
ProsSpace and its not bad looking for a station wagon ConsEngine light was on almost all the time. It could be a problem with the engine but i found it to be way harder to maintain a constant speed then any other car i have ever driven

2001 Volvo V70 T5 Review
ProsIt's the best of many worlds. Sporty, fun to drive, safe as a Sherman tank, reliable as the morning sun, and as long lasting as a monument. ConsWhat I hate is not the car, but the car company. I would love to replace the car with another Volvo of the same style and drivetrain, but Volvo keeps telling me to buy a BMW.

Everything A Driving Enthusiast Could Want In A Wagon — Best car I've every owned. Lots of power. Got it with a 5 speed manual! Very comfortable car. Can drive for hours and not have to stop. Very safe car. Been rear-ended in it twice. I got a scratch, the other cars were totalled. Holds a lot of stuff. Put an apartment-sized refrigerator in it and closed the hatch. Got it Certified at 31,000. It now has 204,000. Very reliable (except for circuit boards; i lose one every two years it seems). Gas mileage isn't that great, but you have to pay to lug all that weight around. Mine has a lot of miles and I expect to put on at least 100K to 200K more on it. Unfortunately, Volvo has determined that selling manual shift cars in the US isn't worth it so I'll probably have to buy a BMW to replace it. Update: Now 210,000 miles and still on the original clutch. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2001 Volvo V70 T5 Review
ProsAbsolutely LOVE my 11 yr old white V70 T5. Beautiful bulldog rear stance & clean Scandinavian interior that is a mixture of all you can want- luxury, utility, awesome concert hall like sound system. Incredibly comfortable & I'm a fanatic so Lexol leather treatment 2x mo & the leather is like new and soft. Continental extremes make the car even a bit better in varied weather conditions. I follow maintenance religiously and all genuine parts. I have over 137,000 miles & can't imagine being happy with any other car. ConsI don't know if it's the safety/soccer mom image, but for some reason I singnal for every little turn & sit very upright with both hands on the wheel at all times. It almost feels like it's not right if I'm driving like a typical 34 yr old single male-with many distractions

In Love With My Non-pretentious, Sporty Yet Luxurious Wagon — Pretty much LOVE everything about this wagon. The sport wheels add so much to the look, unassuming when speeding, low insurance rates & generally laid back, smart fellow drivers at the dealership when it needs servicing, unlike the typical Louis Vuitton, wanting to be noticed newer MBZ crowd that is utterly annoying Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Maybe The Gas Milage... — Good acceleration for being a family car. The best seats in it´s class and good overall comfort. Good locking with 18" wheels and spoilerwing. A little bit expansive MPG in city traffic, average in motorway. Big trunk and a great car for pulling trailers. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Family Wagon — Great family wagon Leather has held up well for 145k miles. Turbo works amazingly well, but is that the cause of oil consumption? Had to replace rear hatch pneumatic arms. Should have gone to Auto Zone rather than dealer. thanks Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

My 01 V70 T5 (geartronic 5 Speed) — Bought it 3 years ago and served me very well. Love the driver position and all the control within reach/ simple luxurious wagon. I am confident the car will protect me with all the safety features (it has so many different Airbags, Dynamic Stability and Traction Control works well in the slippery/ snowy condition). Great MPG as I am getting 26 MPG combined highway and a bit city driving. If I took it on a long trip all highway, it gotten up to 32 MPG (constant speed at 75 MPG) And boy, it is expensive to maintain ! Then I checked Audi / BMW / SAAB owners, they're in the same boat if not more expensive maintaining their cars. But it is worth every pennies as the car is so comfortable. Transmission problem in earlier years can be costly *as volvo claimed no maintenance required*. I ve been changing my trans oil on an interval basis to prolong my transmission.

Fun-ctional V70 — I love my car and only worry as the miles pile up. Great performance (it's a manual), luxury, handling, capacity, looks and highly functional - I chauffeur my 3 dogs and lots of art supplies, ladders, etc. Fun-ctional and almost invisible to police. But yes, pricey to maintain. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||
