Volvo S70 Test Drive

[@JG-wt5yh]

Volvo for life👍

[@heyyo162]

Aaah, nostalgia. Had such a car for 7 years. The oil level sensor was always broken, and it leaked oil, so in order not to dry run the engine, I had to regularly check oil and refill. It also leaked coolant. Any way I loved it. Comfortable, and not overly hard to fix stuff on. You had control, you could fix stuff. In my new third generation XC70 I cannot even see the engine. Everything is enclosed. It doesn't even have an oil stick. Everything relies on electronic sensors, and when those sensors fails some day, I'm probably gonna fry the engine.

[@nov2263]

You can easily check the oil level with the ignition on in the dashboard menu :)

[@heyyo162]

@@nov2263 The point is, that data relies on a sensor inside the engine. if/when that sensor get broken, I will have no way of telling when to refill the oil.

[@nov2263]

@@heyyo162 If it gets broken It will tell you. And you should never have to fill up engine oil between oil changes. I know D3/D4 (FWD) leaks or burns oil, not all but It's common, but It's not normal.

Just bought a '98 S70 2,5T in almost mint condition with 180k miles, it is very stable and very fast. With electric glass sunroof, electric seat, AC, automatic with S/E/W gearbox mode, the leather seats have almost no cracks, just the driver seat have some but not nearly as much as you'd think. Back seat is as new. There's only one spot of very little rust which I'll fix.

[@BoldCreator]

I had one of those, one the best and most durable cars I've had. I have a lot och mechanic videos of it on my tube

[@defektno_dete7880]

Volvo S70 2.5t is my dream car, the interior looks so nice and I just wanna buy it when I get my driver's license and drive it around the town

[@chunkyvlogs6035]

Did you ever get it?

[@3ollen]

You know it's good when there's a can of oil in the door trim ;)

[@clover7359]

Haha, yeah.

[@csebastian71]

Nice road trip. Interior looks mint.

[@clover7359]

I was going to go further but I wanted to hustle and I got discouraged by the ‘speed detected by radar’ sign so I turned around. Haha, my interior is far from mint. It doesn’t look like it in the video but there’s tears in the upholstery, stuff cracked, loose, missing all over the place. It drives amazingly but that’s all I care about.

[@csebastian71]

Volvocloud I’ve been slowly finding good interiors at the junkyard. Next project for me is getting the “R” door panels installed. Little by little.

[@jamalwalker8352]

Yes. That’s the best way. Little by little. I’m fixing my 99 up to. Runs great.

[@andrewschannel4259]

My grandparents have a S70 T5.

[@user-yf3qc3ts9g]

авто хорошее. у самого американец ,проблема что этот разбирался полюбас .точно также у меня было. ГРЕМУЧАЯ панель. расход на акпп примерно 12-8 при хорошем состоянии , при нормальной езде . авто доволен , крепкий кузов.

[@jamiekessler424]

Yes

[@formatique_arschloch]

I had a 2000 S70 and a 2006 S80. I thinks the S70 was better to drive and overall quality was better.

[@itzforteen7617]

You need original spoiler, R Grill And Pegasus R sports rim 17 inch.. Will be damn perfect

[@antoniosalley9493]

My grandparents used to have a Volvo a car

[@speedmann194]

I have 97 s70 with low pressure turbo Car was quoted as being able to accelerate 0-100 brand new in a time of 7.8 seconds Today she has 330,000 ks on the clock & She can still accelerate to that time today.

[@clover7359]

Yeah, that's Volvo for you. Shoot a video for us if you ever get a chance, even if it's just a start and rev.

[@jsrosa1282]

I'm the owner of a 1997 Volvo 960 with 92k original miles. After spending a bunch of money to catch up on deferred maintenance that car is running like new. It will easily cruise at 80+ mph on the highway in quiet comfort. You have a fabulous S70. What year is that beast and how many miles does it have!

[@clover7359]

It’s a 2000 currently with 125.5k miles. 124k miles when video was taken.

[@zloychechen5150]

in terms of reliability, 960 is years ahead of the s70. i mean, the s70 will get you to your destination, but the 960 will also be showing you your speed all of the time, for example.

[@kzz8971]

zloychechen5150 960 is ghetto bro

[@jesseindabag2023]

@@zloychechen5150My s70 is at 227k miles

[@nejvetsiking5431]

everybody talks about how this car is nice and shit.. i have a 98’ v70 p80 with diesel engine (d5252t) and 450 000km on the tacho. it drives so smooth and great (i mean engine) but the interior quality is piece of shit, it rattles, leather is tattered, speakers are boken.. my dad have a e39 530d with the same mileage as i have in my volvo and the bmw is something different.. but i still love volvo so much, just the interior quality sucks

[@clover7359]

The car is 25 years old ... unless it was maintained by the most meticulous car person ever, it's going to have some wear.

[@caminantenocturno3]

I' have cuestion: Why suspension the pickups is tall in the highway??

[@paavohynynen2654]

Where is that landscape ? S70 and 850 is my favorit cars

Eagle River, Alaska, USA

[@FrankBear-le3ie]

I’m looking at getting a sweet 98’ S70 glt. Would you consider S70s to be reliable?

[@clover7359]

They are mechanically bulletproof but the electronics are the weakness of the P80 chassis Volvos. If you find one that has been well maintained it will serve you well but steer clear of anything that looks like it was neglected. The turbos have that extra complexity so I prefer the NA versions, but as long as the previous owner changed the oil on time and gave the oil plenty of time to warm up and cool down before getting into boost and shutting down, it should be fine.

[@jesselamarche-wehling5482]

We need to hang out when I'm in anchorage lol. And if you ever want to sell the S70 let me know haha

[@clover7359]

How much do you want to buy it for?

[@clover7359]

This car is my baby. I have an ungodly amount of money invested into it to ensure that it drives for many more years.

None of the windows were open, it doesn't seem that loud to me. I have a V70 which is a bit quieter though.
