If volvo started making these again they would outsell everything.

The first generation diesel V70 didn't have the D5 engine it had an Audi 5 cylinder diesel engine so it wasnt the same as the later second generation V70. Some very early second generation had the Audi engine too,

I own a 3rd gen V70 (with the 2.0 5 cylinder D3, the engine that replaced the 163hp 2.4) and what a nice machine that is! So nice and quiet, feels good, feels like a quality car even after 428k kms, drives very solid. Not sporty in any way, but a good comfortable cruiser

P80 didn't have a D5 engine in it, it was an inline 5 cylinder diesel, but not a D5.

You should also mention that these cars are the safest cars to drive. Volvo has always been at the forefront regarding safety, especially in crashes.

They will go quicker than that u need to take it up to the point when power drops almost red line then into second which will go about 40 then into third which will get u to 60

What a pointless video. Talk about things which both P2 and P3 are like to own. The top strut mounts failing, suspension components which get chewed through, the maintenance that sould be done. Avoiding the 5 speed automatic.

I'd say Volvos are more reliable and more sturdy than their German counterparts and the big advantage (for those of us who need it) with the big Volvo estates is the load space in the back.

there use to be a big racing scene for these in jamaca and they would put the 5e engine in and turbo it without putting low comp pistons or any engine mods in, they never open engines there untill they go pop, and they went very quick and beat the usual turbo glanzas all running the usual 240-270 bhp tunned

The car is very light, the acceleration is surprising despite the low power, it reminds me of the Suzuki Swift from the 90s with a 1.3l engine and about 800kg, it was a lot of fun.

I bought a 2008. S60 from the previous owner in Germany. He bought a new S60 in 2019. He said that the old one is better. He was disappointed with the new 4cl. Chinese volvos. After 5 years he still runs strong without a single issue. Amazing quality, equipment, comfort...

Recently bought a P2 V70 D5 2.4D diesel 163 hp with 300 000 km from 2006 with manual gears. So far so good, reliable, economical, comfortable, practicality with a lot of space inside... my 🐕🦺 definitely loves the trunk ! I hope to keep it running for many years to come. I can just take your words "this car is one of the best estate cars ever made"

Starlet ep 91..Best car ever made in terms of Reliability trough simplicity..i Bought one three years ago with some 188.000 k.m in very good clean original condition..tons of cheap spares around but probably wont need them ..Starlets are quick vivid engines and easy to maintain.easy to wash also due to sweet smooth curves on body..i think is a cute appearance also..I love it ...i was such an idiot that didthn buy one earlier ..i was a motorcyclist only..such an idioooooooot😂😂 All the best from Greece

I owned identical cars. What a strange coincidence. First one was manual and second one geartronic.The second one did 385.000 kms from new. I sold it due to some expensive repairs and still got a good price. My Volvo dealer changed hands and they weren’t interested in clients like me. I always paid cash and refused the leasing scam.

Great vid, but when talking about maintenance costs you should also mention engine mounts, suspension issues (for both DRC and air suspension variants), oil strainer issues (for cars before 2017) and more. Many of those cars are with carbon ceramic brakes which cost A LOT more than steelies to replace. Also front rotor size is 390mm, not 330. Even the rears are 356mm :)
@PaulTurnbull-h5b Жыл бұрын
Need to google a bit harder, 390mm rotors on the front.
