1998 Volvo V70 Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"A power crazed Audi-eater"
General comments?
The T5 is basically one of the most ultimate Q cars ever.
It will blow away almost any opposition you will come across.
Its faster than my old Subaru WRX Turbo, and that's saying something!
The car is so quiet and comfortable under normal conditions, then nail the throttle and the sweet sounding 5-pot projects you over the speed limit and just carries on accelerating, even if you floor it at 120 mph!
It is a very nice car to drive and live with.
Although it eats front tires!
