1998 Volvo V70 Wagon Start Up, Engine and In Depth Tour

In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 1998 Volvo V70. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

[@thetwopointslow]

In my opinion this vintage of Volvo has one of the best-looking exterior designs of all time

[@gabriels32]

if I can put more points I will put another100

[@psoidonym2389]

absolutely...timeless beauty

[@TheDarkPhoenix23]

A Swedish group (ABBA) playing in the background while looking at a Swedish car. Irony.

[@m76mat66]

I also noticed that!

[@patrickmichaellangan576]

All that's missing is the Swedish flag (or at least the colors on the flag).

[@mas502arc]

Dancing Queen and Volvo....good times.

[@gp1585]

I had one these!! One of my best cars ive ever owned. Its was so comfy and easy to drive and completely reliable. I sold mine with 275,000miles on the clock

[@benbluesing]

Gustavo Frings gang liked it so much

[@nintendoatarikiller]

Great timing for that ABBA song lol

[@coydog7902]

Such a great song

[@patrickmichaellangan576]

Because they, that song and this car are all Swedish. They all represent Sweden.

[@NicoBleackley]

Just got this car. I love it to death.

[@yunglean7783]

+Mungbeanz100 they're not always in the shop they're reliable as fuck

[@Lodexxor]

+Nico B Got one too and it is surely bang for a buck. Mine cost 2000euros and has all goodies including volvo's 901 stereo system with dolby surround 5.1. 2,4 engine is pretty cool when you accelerate, it does rather sporty roaring. Wich i heard is cause of its 5 cylinder setup.

[@Lodexxor]

200 000 miles. But it has had only few owners during its time. So maintance chain has been good during its lifespan. I think my next car will be allso Volvo v70, but newer version and probably with awd and turbo. With similar milage or lower it is very strong car to have. 2nd generation model has bulkier body wich i do like, since imho car should be car not a tincan =).

[@alexp6016]

+Nico B I have one too. They're great cars!

[@biz0829]

Getting my first car in a few months, should I look at a V70? Are the prices decent?

[@martintraff-bouvin5154]

Volvo and Saabs never break they last till the universe dies

[@campervanelvisitoofonyou8720]

Martin Träff-Bouvin bullshit 💩💩💩

[@chriskonte1909]

The engines are solid. Their automatic transmissions are not xD And of course they have huge electrical problems.

[@Adam-oo7tn]

for volvos yes. saab’s are hit or miss u could get a bulletproof one or a lemon its a risk.

[@pinetreewolfptw7934]

Bro my v70's throttle body keeps breaking

[@Cino777]

Most volvos with the I5 engines last a long time, but most Saabs in that time had maintenance problems.

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Swedish band in a Swedish gorgeous wagon, my dream come true!

[@coydog7902]

This is the best Volvo tour I’ve ever seen! Why am I crying this is a really an amazing review with such a great song!

[@anttisuvanto7398]

I´d rather buy an old volvo than new chevy.

[@andrewschannel4259]

Antti Suvanto Or a new Volvo.

[@JsliceQB1026]

Antti Suvanto i can see why, the Chevy would break immediately after leaving the lot, whereas the Volvo would still run just fine

[@firstnamelastname-ct7nr]

Antti Suvanto yes me too! I just bought a 98v70 and it's fun

[@veetikurt5018]

En nyt menis sanomaan, kyllä Volvo hyvä on mutta ei ole Letukan voittanutta

[@babyhuez597]

I’d rather crawl than buy a Chevy.

[@ВладиславЕллін]

this 15-years Volvo is better than the most present car that producing now

[@obi1kendobi]

37K miles?! Goodness that thing barely got driven!

[@1ZZFE]

I'm a Toyota/Honda person who believe and rely on these 2 brands. For this car, its exceptionally attractive to me. I want this V70!!!

[@AB-hx9hs]

How appropriate that you play ABBA (a Swedish band) in a car that is made in Sweden :-)

[@Lauren_C]

Got one myself from the grandparents, awesome car in just about every regard. It's at about 168,000 miles, though with spot-on maintenance, it's going pretty strong.

[@davidlundmark9359]

Do you still have it?

[@briankeys7278]

That wagon is PRISTINE! Wish mine was like that. (it's a piece of crap.) EDIT: Watching this makes me depressed. Hope that Volvo went to a good, loving owner.

[@Illousion1]

So proud of my country to be making these great quality cars. Although I'm in love with american cars, I will always have a soft spot for our Volvo's. Nice video, buddy.

[@T-Rex-nm1se]

I see this Volvo all the time whenever I go to eat at Los Pollos Hermanos

[@johnathancraftoncrafton3435]

Oh I love that Volvo chime it's very calming

[@MarcellMiklosKocsis]

They do not need much repair, but when they do, their material cost is a bit high. I own a 17 years old Volvo 850, and i am not going to give up on him for a while. Worth every bit of money!

[@gabriels32]

love this man

[@kencoggins3346]

It does come with cup-holder after-all. Hidden. Now I can take my Starbuck's with me. Another neat feature is that front passenger seat folds down for cargo like a surf board.

[@ScottCo98]

You never see a Volvo of that era in that condition with that few miles. Unbelievable. My car is a 94 850 wagon which the V70 replaced for 98.

[@SkylineBilip]

I had one of these before, with the T5 engine, Missed it ever since i sold it, and now im thinking of buying another one, but a deisel this time. Extremely comfortable car to drive, reminds me of a bmw e39 or e60, not as good but close. Sadly there are no 1998 V70 volvos left in sweden in this condition.. :(

[@didiermatroit2820]

Trop belle 🤩🚘👍

[@ledihealinghandsholidaythe3240]

This made me want a v70 instead of my 850 which I am very much in love with

[@SpongeBobMeBoy6153]

i still love that horn 1:10

[@TheLucasBreda]

this brings back the old days

[@BrokenAdam770]

It's too bad not to see this car on the road again. My dad used to own one when I was 6.

[@hondacr-vtouringguy8327]

That chime is cute

[@OfficialAnalysis]

Not as loaded as mine, but still nicely equipped. I wish mine RAN that well. But you cant complain so much with 300k on a og motor.

[@aviahyatt992]

That classic Volvo door chime ;) good times...

[@jarvislongoria6152]

ABBA and a Volvo, idk how much more swedish you can get but oh my how I LOVE IT!!

[@ilovecars1996]

This is great I love Volvos. And my favorite song was playing, 100 years!

[@karenpowers3591]

You are the only person I've met that even knows that song and it's also my favorite after all these years

[@iwankitty]

best color and best choice car

[@lifeisfair8634]

Ticking like a watch ⌚ damn clean sound

[@rocknroll8593]

She's one beautiful Volvo

[@h8u4ever]

You can barely hear the engine from the inside! That's actually pretty awesome :)

[@bajsburken]

@saabkyle04 People tweak those oddometers all the time here in Sweden. A common problem, for unexperinced it's hard to tell if the car oddometer has been modified. Service history is something to check extra carefully. We have a 850 with 26K KMs, and V70 Gen II with 19K Kms. Both still going strong, very reliable cars.

[@sorwis]

Man this V70 is in excellent shape.

[@MonsieurMoses]

this thing is sooooo clean sweet

[@digitalrailroader]

The V70 is Nice, but see if you can find a 2003 XC70 Cross Country. those are pretty nice!

[@uprightbassmatt]

Good video, very informative but one thing. In 7:42 and 8:46 You don't need to raise the lower part when folding a seat. I put my upright bass always like this and it's only one move instead of two operations. Almost flat deck that way too.

[@sjh60633]

what a great car!

[@RichieRouge206]

I love Volvo, can’t beat a P80 V70

[@1tristan1henderson1]

Never owned a V70, but I have a 1995 850 T5 and I will say it has been the best car I've ever owned. Quick and powerful, but efficient smooth and quite. Beautiful without being audacious. I have over 366,000 on the car.

[@LexLupius]

At 4:38 haha what is the likelyhood of searching and finding a radio channel that plays ABBA Dancing Queen? Amazing.

[@collinsup]

It's possible the ABS module was changed, to give the illusion that it has 37k, but I actually believe that's true about this car, it's in the shape to have 37k.

[@LexLupius]

OMFG SHE IS SOOO CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL... That is how a used car should look like after 12 years of service. I haven't seen an other-12 yearer in such a shape before unfortunately. Vollvo.

[@Am1Creepy]

my volvo v70 has around 240k miles on it and still running perfect

[@kimkapetanakos8801]

This is a car that was for the grandparents

[@LillianWalkerLive]

Very thorough and nice car preview!

[@cynthiahamlin5916]

I'm driving one now. With 107,000. Just bought it in June and it doesn't have all the features 🤔this one you are showing is very nice.

[@Dravito94]

Except that it’s white.

[@ejshelby5460]

these older wagons are the best! oh man.

[@eskimochild87]

i love this interior =D, i love that he was blastin BRITNEY!

[@agnestanopo1964]

Seriously? Three minutes of flipping channels on the radio! That's really an important feature on which to spend so much time.

[@Happytylermovieproducction]

Agnes Tanopo I think he showed the sound quality on the speaker with different music

[@Goldenrod636]

Got to love the older chime.

[@Anon53]

5:08 great song right there, Keith urban Somebody like you. Nice video man and nice car.

[@mladicrossati3291]

IDENTICA ALLA MIA .., LOVE VOLVO....

[@zacharyzoomy]

it would be sweet if you could do a a review of an older Volvo 240 please!

[@nikothecrazygreek]

i have got one of these in greece and its so sweet

[@Funckinnutcase]

The factory unit is made by Alpine. One of the best factory units you'll ever find in any car. Long live the brick!

[@TheRoook]

volvo is the most coolleest cars iv ever driven! real man car

[@gabriels32]

Volvo for ever

[@domingoregalado7865]

I wish mine looked that good.

[@elsydeon666]

A: You forgot the turbo, that pipe over the engine goes to the intercooler. B: The first gen V/S70 were just 850s with unboxy sheet metal on the front and less anachronistic interiors.

[@franlp]

I dont know why but i see this car in many series on netflix like breaking bad, dark, black mirror

[@morganw8682]

36,000 miles?! Wish something like this still existed on a dealer lot today. Unfortunately it doesn't.

[@Codghosts-wq8gk]

My aunt has this car, except it’s red and a ‘99 model.

[@Hustleandgrow27]

Is this car still available?

[@eddieplaysgh]

Hey Kyle, love your videos. Your the man! Question: How many mpg does this bad boy get?

[@techlover86]

Beautiful Car

[@EpyonRoyal]

@saabkyle04 You don't roll them back, but you replace the instrument cluster with one from a wreck that had low miles.

[@michelinman8592]

AWESOME! My dad's '96 850 is a bit on the old side. Hmm, about 275,000+ with a broken odometer.

[@classic287]

You have to fold the headrests forward to get the rear set to fold flat.

[@MrRichierich1990]

nice car, i read online yesterday that there might be new cars where you steer with with your eyes. no lie!

[@MarcGagne357]

How are these in the snow? I know that has more to do with the tires but is it okay?

[@ismoaulaskari3987]

It's a car designed in Sweden with front wheel drive and high ground clearance, it will do quite fine.

[@feyzaerdol1959]

my volvos onlys away too 1998 forever

[@TheBetenoir]

@hadabenz Mine had 58k on when I bought it in '06. Now it only has 75k. 37k is low but that just means this car still has a very long time to live!

[@precopster1]

The GLT is a perfect car. Low pressure 147 KW turbo with oodles of torque and low engine speed tractability. The only downside is that it was the year before plug on coil so still has distributor and leads. Plus side is no ETM and a simple 4 speed auto. How would you find one with 35,000 miles and in that condition?

[@dusanpualic5504]

house on the wheels! nice ! i have v40, amazing car!

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 1997-2000 Volvo V70 was assembled in Torslanda, Sweden, Ghent, Belgium, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada,

[@OskeeWowWowIllinois23]

Gus fring brought me here

[@Zombbg4]

Check out Edmonds, every other review is loaded with issues with this car. However most unhappy people will review listing complaints where people happy with it just never bother reviewing at all. A lot of people have issues with the ABS, sensors ect. I sort of wish i would have taken a chance on it, seems like a lot of car for the money.

[@mikbe2579]

This car which wasn't built in Göteborg, Sweden (but in Gent, Belgium) any more, is already of inferior quality in terms of material, workmanship, durability of supplier parts, and rust protection, ... good enough for U.S.-American quality standards, but by no means satisfactory for demanding European buyers, who perfer long-term cars. Hence, this vehicle was a flop in Europe and especially in Germany, Russia and Scandinavia, and the popularity of the 850, and Its sales figures could never be matched by the early S/V70, its successor model. I still drive my 1996 unbreakable 2.0 litre 850 "elk", Made in Sweden (of course, regularly serviced only by Volvo), which indeed, is still as young and fresh as on the first day with meanwhile 215'000 kilometres, the best car I ever owned, even better than Mercedes, BMW, or Audi. You'd be better-served by buying a well-kept 850 rather than the sucessor model, the Volvo S/V70.

[@C1tro3nManiacsGhost]

Honda Accord Guy's chime evolution momento

[@mathewbsaenz]

the stereo in this car is better than a lot of new ones. my 2000 V70V was in an accident and I had a 2013 mazda 3 for a rental. the mazda was the worse stereo ever. after a day I didn't use it anymore and I had that car for two weeks while my Volvo was being fixed. that Volvo stereo may look ancient, but the only ones more advanced are in new European cars...and 95 s class Mercedes. lol, only two exceptions.

[@plaqueconspiracy]

What reviews did you read? Because I always thought that the V70's were reliable and somewhat cheap to maintain. Mostly because it's the most common car where I live

[@TheSovietSteel]

There's only one thing that sucks about being a V70 owner.The fact that very few Americans realize that this station wagon will kick the shit out of their pathetic muscle car. It takes a lot to make horspeower owners realize that they can't touch us. But, eventually we overcome.

[@DudeEricsson]

same eningen in that one like my 850 GLT. and kyle you forgot to tilt the sunroof up puching the buttom up then it tilt up ;)

[@AutomatikBalalaika]

I was between 2000's car and a T5 Volvo. Guess which one i chose?

[@AutomatikBalalaika]

Easely one of my favourite cars

[@karenpowers3591]

I have this exact car and in this shape the irony is my other car is a Mercedes and I love them both. He drives Ford F250 crew cab lol 2019🤷‍♀️

[@Mr330d]

@iib8903 yes it was incredibly smoky black smoke he never looked after it so that didn't help it but god it made a great noise and had some power still

[@classic287]

I have a 99 and there is no obvious difference.

[@AdrianC12345]

@kyosho94 Well yeah, the V70 was built using the front half of the 850's chassis!!!!

[@Theiphonecases]

you should do more volvos

[@RoboticArmy88]

Hopefully when I go to pick mine up it's as nice as this one?

[@ejshelby5460]

how easy is it to find parts for these 90s and 00s wagons? say if i buy one.

[@AwakeDude911]

the little round hole next to the headlight dial turns off those stupid day time running lamps...save some money ...turnem off!

[@bxmxwx7822]

I LOVE VOLVOS
