Used 2001 Volvo V70 Wagon Consumer Reviews
My Volvo
It is fun car to drive and its is very safe. Holds the road in all types of weather. It has 46,000 miles, most of which has been on super highways. The both front seats have heaters The average yearly miles estimated at 15.300.miles. The interior is both cloth and leather and all in excellent condition. It has a Turbo engine and offers a great pick-up. The engine produces 45K RPM
Transmission Issues
Overall experience has been very good until recently when the RPM would race to peak levels while driving. Initial repair shop found nothing wrong. Towed car to dealer and they advised the transmission needed replacement to the tune of $3,800. I would expect this from a lower end vehicle, but not from a Volvo.

2nd Upate on V70T5
It has been 2 years since my last update. Purchased my T5 out of my lease 2 years ago - car is now 5 years old with 62K miles. Thank god I purchased the VIP warranty. Took it in for the $700 60K service (!) and mentioned a knocking sound from the suspension and also a bad oil leak. They found knocking was result of broken sway bar connectors and a broken engine mount (over $700 in repairs), and the oil leak was from the engine block itself, and may require replacement of the whole engine!!! They have had car for over a week. This was after replacing a seal on the turbo return ($150 repair) on the previous service. VIP warranty good for 2 more years or 100K miles - will sell before then.
Don't you dare call it a station wagon!
I'm a Gen-X'er and feel proud to drive what many may see as "your grandpa's wagon". I am here to tell you it is not! This is simply the most comfortable and safe feeling car you can buy. It looks like a muscular black panther ready to strike. Although a bit sluggish off the line, it performs well past 1st gear. This is the first car I can see never getting tired of.
