2000 Volvo V70 Classic review from UK and Ireland
"The best family car bar none"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car!
General comments?
I love the Volvo V70 for several reasons.
The first is the comfort of the car for driving. The Volvo seats are superb and excellent for long distance driving. The cabin is cosy and well designed with a clear dash and easy to use controls.
The second reason is the usefulness of the car. The boot is huge and the car can easy cope with 5 adults and luggage.
The third reason is the quality and finish of the car is excellent. The cabin is well screwed together and the external paint finish is fantastic.
Performance is good when the car has warmed up and is at speed, but the Volvo' acceleration can be a little sluggish from traffic lights in urban areas.
Refinement is good and ride quality is good - however the handling of the car is a little unenthusiastic when it comes to bendy roads or high speeds - understeer sets in early and you can feel the chassis flex a little as the car protests such treatment!
