2006 Volvo V70 2.5T 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
After 12 months, still impressed. Purchased after extensive research and test drives of several brands in a quest for a wagon-- closest competitors were Mazda6, Audi and BMW 3 series wagons. (BMW 3 series wagons impossible to find, plus dealers not helpful.) Gas mileage has actually improved over time to about 22 mpg around town-- dealer recommended using Chevron regular grade and it has performed well. Brake check valve and outside mirror glass replaced under warranty right after delivery. Otherwise trouble-free. Dealer/service has been great.

Changing a single head lamp is an astronomical task,or rear tail lens, etc. Added many features that commonly break that are a fortune to fix like the electronic steering module, Variable Valve Timing is nice with fair bottom end torque but not there when you need it at high speed merging on highway. It feels like an economy class now. The cost minimized to profit maximize by Ford in so many areas that they made the vehicle breathtaking garbage, and I have owned several Volvos in my lifetime. I hope Geeley does better, and these huys make marine engines as well as trucks. I

This was my second Volvo. Ten years old and has been a fantastic car. Reliable. Great on gas. Comfortable to drive. The only downside is that the backseat got to be too small for road trips with all 4 of us in the car (8-10 hour trips a couple times a year) as the kids grew to 5'10 and 5'11. When they were younger (and shorter) it was fantastic. Overall it's been a great car!

v70 the family freindly s60 from volvo

I like the v70 it's a great family car, my younger chidren have a great view when out "low" window sills. In base form it is a cruising vehicle but peppy enough. Its has over-competent handling for a family car compared to an suv or minivan - it will carve an off ramp suprisingly well- but hardly any one who drives one knows that. The v70 is subtle in its refinement which really shines in the mundane like running errands around town. It will keep up with and pass suvs with 3x's the horse power if you feel so inclined but prefers to quietly glide about - It is not u Dad's pontiac grand safari - it is a mercedes within 9/10ths of that vehicle at a 20K discount.
Still the best wagon

In 30 years this is my fourth Volvo and my first brand new one.. I always go out intending to buy a Toyota or a Subaru but always come home with a Volvo. Volvo may not often be the most reliable,the most economical and maybe not even the safest car in tests, but the comfort and ergonomics of the cabin is still unsurpassed. The 2006 in comparison to previous years (I also own a 1999) has a much smoother drive train and is certainly quieter under acceleration.
